I got to perform in Ronny Pascale’s comedy pilot live staged reading last night for Bad Theater Fest with these superstars. And, as you can see by the smiles on our faces, it was MISERABLE. Fun fact: Ronny was my first improv teacher at The PIT and he is the best.

For an acting workshop I took this past week, the casting director/teacher tasked us with finding a new monologue where we could specifically give a real feel for the scene’s environment… then learn it and post it… all within a few hours. Ta da:

She suggested I purchase the ever-popular royal blue backdrop, and guess what: I’m now the proud owner of the ever-popular royal blue backdrop.

It was such a blast writing and acting in Anna Pakman’s 2021 Easterseals Disability Film Challenge project, and our #SocialFitnessMovie is now live! They sent everyone the assignment (mockumentary) last Tuesday, we were wrapped by Saturday, and we did it all virtually! Watch it here.

Shashi Bangera, Bree Klauser, Liz Simons, Liz Pritchard, BJ Lange, Jd Michaels, Eric Stafford, Mary von Aue, Anita Hollander, Sylvia Longmire, and Maysoon Zayid… 70% disabled actors/30% allies. 100% disabled crew. 75% disabled marketing team/25% ally. So proud of us!!!

Hello, you! I’m Josey, a NYC-based on-camera and voiceover actor (actor? actress?), host, and singer-songwriter—and a travel/parenting/lifestyle writer/editor. Not to brag, but I’m also a neighborhood pumpkin-carving contest champion, survivor of a great white shark cage dive, very good at walking on my hands “for my age,” and I will crush you like a grape in Wordle. You can watch a really dorky video with much more (too much) about me here and follow me on Instagram, Clubhouse, and Twitter @GoJoseyGo. I love email, so—whether you want to work together or just say hi—please reach out at joseymiller [at] yahoo [dot com]. It would completely make my day. In the meantime…

When your lovely photographer sends you a hundred photos of your head to choose from, you open the link with anticipation. How’d we do?? But inevitably the first dozen are your best impression of Jabba the Hut, the second dozen a la Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber, and panic starts to set in: Is this really what I look like?? (You’re so vain. You prob’ly think this post is about you…)

But you keep scrolling in a panic and then WHEW, okay, that looks more like me (ish).

Here’s a 90-second comedic monologue exactly zero people asked for:

I’m feeling like a very cool mom this week, talking about parenting and music for Fender Guitars (there are a lot of feelings that come with motherhood, but “cool” is seldom one of them)… I even got to sing some of my original songs! The segment will air on various TV and radio stations across the country and, if any of them post it online, I’ll be sure to share the link.

Thank you to Joann and her rockstar team at Consultancy Media for thinking of me for this! CM was one of the very first companies to ever hire me as a voiceover actor over a decade ago–alongside F# for Spotify and Pearson Education–and I’ll be forever grateful. Plus, it’s always so much fun when clients call again and again and, over time, become friends!

Inspired by the neighborhood basketball team I play on every Monday night (the original group formed over twenty! years! ago!)… I wrote about being joyfully terrible at something. Your personal and professional relationships will improve, your self-esteem will skyrocket, and you will live forever or something like that. To read it, click here now.

We’re writing a whole show from scratch in a week and performing it at The PIT this Saturday at 9:30pm. Buy your tickets now—it sells out every time. Click here for details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And today was a ridiculously exciting day because, after our rehearsal on The Striker stage at The PIT, I ran across town… to sign officially with Abrams Artists Agency… for voiceover. NBD. JK. OMG.

I’m over-the-moon excited to announce that I just signed for commercial on-camera with Abrams Artists Agency. I love them, admire them, and feel so totally lucky to get to work with them.

But wait, there’s more! Mark your calendar because I’m writing for/performing in another Old School Sketch Show at The PIT on Saturday, 9/28. And pssst… I heard you have a better shot at the Book of Life if you’re there. (It’s probably just a rumor, but why risk it?)
