welcome. Seeing your resume and your theatrical side of acting experience is most impressive. I've been finding lately that I like stage acting better than acting for the camera. I'm not sure yet on having any reason why, but it seems to be a natural fit.
Anyway, welcome again to a great community (international, nonetheless) of cine-philes.
That's an impressive resume, Rachel! We've been having a lot of fun at the expense of the art of acting on my blog The Art Of Acting these past few weeks, which you might like to take a look at if you're after something to read. Meanwhile, as Shyam said, welcome to Wannabe!
