Introducing myself - Consider this my "slate"

in #introduceyourself8 years ago (edited)

My name is Cecilia and I'm five feet, seven inches tall.
My name is Cecilia and I drive a red Honda Civic, manual transmission.
My name is Cecilia and I do not have any tattoos or body piercings.

Hello Steemians, my name is Cecilia and I'm an actor, model, and college student - and the above are all examples of slates, or ways I've officially introduced myself to casting directors. Usually it includes my name and another piece of information or two, based on the role I'm auditioning for. Now, I'm doing a different kind of slate: one where I get to decide what to say!

Growing up, I loved to imitate scenes from movies and dance along to the credits. By the time I got to middle school, I was taking as many theatre classes as I could and auditioning for all sorts of plays, dreaming of being a star. During high school, I signed on with Carolina Talent agency and became involved with the film community in North Carolina.

Being more involved with industry professionals made me realize that there are real career opportunities for me here. In North Carolina, acting and modeling go hand-in-hand, because so much of the work is commercial or promotional. Though I'm a bit short to walk the runways of Fashion Week, you can catch me laughing it up in a Wild Wing Cafe commercial. And I love it!

One thing I particularly love about film or photoshoots is the amount of people I get to meet. I've networked with a ton of really cool people through the years, and I'm always looking for ways to keep in touch and expand my social circles. That's part of what made me interested in Steemit; though I don't know much about cryptocurrency and will have to get to know the community, I want the chance to connect with new people. I'm also hoping to learn more along the way!

I'm studying film in college, since I love acting but need to learn more about production. Many successful actors make their own work, and I would love to be able to produce my own projects to be in. At this point, I've grown out of any ideas for fame or fortune - though that might be nice, that's not my reason for pursuing this career path. I'm doing this because there's no other way I would want to make my living.

I'm excited to be joining the Steemit community. Don't be strangers, and feel free to reach out to me while I figure out how to navigate the site! For verification, you can find me on:

Great introduction Cecilia

Welcome to Steemit

Welcome Cecilia :-) Nice to have you onboard - Follow me and I will follow you ;-)

I took a look at your page. Do you consider yourself to be a foodie? You had some great posts that I noticed right away - the vegan recipe and the article about the best chocolate in the world!

Thanks :)
I do not think I'm a foodie, I just experience flavors and combine them, I have the happiness of being in a place with a diversity of fruits unimaginable

That must be awesome! The farthest south I've been is Central America and even the fruit there was so much better than what I usually have because it was so sweet and fresh. Lucky you!

Tell me a little about yourself, did you produce any short, documentary or film? I really like the cinema and I made a couple of documentaries with some friends

I've actually just recently started learning about film production. I've written some sketch comedy scenes for theatre and sketches for filming, but I've mostly been in front of the camera so far. What kinds of subjects were your documentaries about?

Welcome to steemit!

Very cool and well written intro. I think you'll go far in your modeling and acting career. Enjoy your time here! There are a lot of nice people in this great growing community. I think you will love steemit!

Thank you! I'll be writing more soon, but for now I'm going down the rabbit hole and following link after link to see more users and stories. I'm looking forward to sharing more of my acting journey though!

You'll do fine... just be yourself and post in categories you like :-)

Welcome to steemit community. I'm kinda old member here, but dont have much interest with steemit before. I guess, I'm going to give it a try now. I guess I should start submitting some story to get some followers as well. :) Anyway good luck and have a great stay on this community. Love Ya!

So far, posting seems to be working. I've already talked to a bunch of people on here and gotten more upvotes than I expected. You'll be great! I look forward to seeing your posts.

Yeah, i've been wondering though, how does these people earn steem, steem power, So far, after few hours of been here on steemit I am only seeing my accounts "Estimated Account Value" increased. Aside from that nothing is increasing at all. And followed you too.

I know that you earn steem and steem power for posts that get upvoted, but they don't pay out until after 7 days. Even though my introductory post has upvotes, my wallet is also basically empty because I haven't had a payout yet. There are lots of posts I've come across that explain more, too. You can find them by searching in the tags, or looking at the popular pages. I'll probably re-steem some too for reference.

Cool. I've been searching for posts that explains it too. :)
