TV Fall Line-Up

It's Fall so that means..... NEW SHOWS, NEW SEASON PREMIERES! First, "New Girl" starring Zooey Deschanel is freaking hilarious! The writing is great; they're not desperate for laughs with punchlines or cliche situations. It's fresh, witty and the chemistry just clicks with the cast! Zooey is hilarious and likeable and I always felt that way about her since "Elf" with Will Ferrell! This is a must see show, love it!
"Up All Night" starring Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, and Maya Rudolph. Another comedy that will have you laughing out loud. Christina and Will longing for a "cool" lifestyle plays out so well! We are all guilty of wanting to be cooler than we actually are and some of us will go to the extreme to achieve that! But their awkwardness is what makes it funny to laugh at instead of feeling sorry for the ones who are desperate to feel important. I love the chemistry between the two but Maya Rudolph takes the cake! She is DEFINITELY the shining star of the show! Her over the top, GOD like character is ridiculously funny! Because there are stars who actually behave that way it's like she's almost poking fun at her character! Another, must see show!
"Modern Family" was ANOTHER hit again, anyone surprised? Definitely looking forward to the rest of the season especially with Cam and Mitchell's upcoming baby! Congrats on their Emmy's!
"Curb Your Enthusiasm" starring Larry David, opened up the season with Michael J. Fox! I just CAN'T with this guy! LOL, this is the kind of show where you take a camera, a few people and see what adventures and scenarios come up! It's so simple but brilliant! Michael's cameo was great and I love how they incorporated the Parkinson's disease which is ridiculously hilarious! KUDOS, Larry!
"2 Broke Girls" starring Kat Dennings was definitely a miss for me. I felt like they were trying too hard with the jokes and Kat's character lacked that spark. I get that she's the dead-pan, dry humor, no nonsense, tough Brooklyn girl but nothing grabbed your attention to even LOVE that about her. Beth Behrs plays the other lead and she's the rich, pretty girl who is trying to make it on her own but is having a hard time trying to adjust. Again, I couldn't lock in with her character. I feel like this show has potential but it needs to turn around fast!
Well, there are few more shows I need to check out so stay tuned for more! XOXO Keila

Crawled Back to Earth

.... Yeah, it's been awhile! But I promise it's for a good reason! Well, let me update everyone on what's been going on in Hollywoodland! I am currently in the process of submitting to agencies so now we wait to see who responds, lol! KSR contacted me but it was to inform me that they signed someone who looks similiar to me which I can totally understand! However, I was bummed at first but there are other fish in the sea...lol so corny! But, I still have a few more agencies I want to submit to.
Regarding "Wassup En LA," there are two more characters that we are close to casting! I had the opportunity to come and see some of the potential actors audition, had a blast! There are some exciting things that will be taking place so stay tuned!
As far as the music goes, I have not been able to concentrate on vocal training because of my dedication to my acting career. But I did purchase a beginners guitar! YAY! I will be getting it tuned but I love it and it's what I always wanted to do!
Recently, I participated in an actor's workshop and received great feedback from the casting director! I encourage ALL actors to take Casting Director workshops its a great way for the CD's to see you perform and become familiar with you. One place that I suggest is ActorsWest.com! It's inexpensive and the CD's are actually CASTING projects!
Also, I JUST finished my website http://www.keilahamilton.com/ so make sure you check that out! Thanks for checking the blog guys I really appreciate it! XOXO Keila

So, I'm back and want to catch up with what's been going on with me! First, regarding the up and coming comedy pilot "Wassup En LA" they're in the stages of  production, meaning completing writing material, studio location...the business side of things! They're still casting for the rest of the la familia and will be announcing the fifth member this coming Sunday! YAY! Oh, check out www.wassupenla.com and facebook.com/wassupenla! Second, I finished performing for AFTRA's annual Radio Plays this past week! ARP is a tribute to the Golden Era of Radio, if you're not familiar with that golden age of time, FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF! Our performance was a scene from the classic show, "Father Knows Best," I voiced the role of the teenage daughter Betty. Once I receive a copy I will post a link here. Third, I wrapped up filming for a short film called, "C4B" this week which I played a backup dancer! The choreography was HOT and the short is hilarious! That will be posted on here as well once I receive. Last but not least, there is a potential project that I might be doing which is a play that will be going on a national tour! My joining of the cast is not confirmed yet but will be determined soon. The only thing I can release about this project is that it will be a NEW style of theater! (I said that's the only thing!)
Also, I have not found an agent/manager just yet, this is a very important decision and I want to insure that I have the absolute BEST in my corner. Nonetheless, there has been so much progress and I am estatic about everything so stay tuned guys, it only gets better! XOXO Keila

Hey guys! I know it's been awhile since my last post but I've been working hard and I have GREAT news...I have been cast as Tawana for the up and coming sitcom "Wassup En La!" I had to go through three auditions and I was chosen to be apart of this amazing project! We will be shooting a pilot soon and shopping it around to get picked up by a network, so stay tuned for that! FINALLY, I am SAG eligible and will be processing my paperwork this week. Also, I am gearing up to find another agency which will give me a much bigger outlet for more roles! I'm excited about everything and it only gets better from here!

Hey guys! Just dropping by to update you on what's been going on since my last post. Last week, I worked a few shows and had an audition for a predominantly all black stage play! Let's hope I get it! You can catch me in a new show called "So Random" a spin off of "Sonny With a Chance" and another new show called "Ant Farm." Both should premiere this summer! Next month I will be SAG eligible so I am gearing up for that, I want to make sure I find the RIGHT agent this time. I am also still pursuing a manager as well. As for my vocal lessons, they are coming along just great, I definitely can feel and hear the difference. Right now the plan is to continue to hone my skills and looking for the right people to represent me. At the end of this year, I definitely expect some big changes so continue to pray for me! Hope you all are having a blessed and productive day! XOXO Keila

That Poignant MOMENT in Your Life

Hey guys, I have some incredible things to share with you all which I hope you can find beneficial and inspiring. A few months ago I auditioned for an up and coming tv show called "Wassup En La" and I was able to score a callback. Yesterday, I was caught off guard with an email stating I made the SECOND round of callbacks, it is narrowed down to three, including me!! That same day I bumped into a friend I'd worked with on a previous set. He referred me to his manager who I contacted and I feel really good about him, so we shall see what happens.

These past two weeks have been so inspiring to me as a person, and my faith in GOD. Crucial to the life making decisions in my personal and business affairs. I will explain this significant journey I have experienced. I've been on a quest to find a vocal coach and I finally found one! We clicked and she seen something in me that compelled her to help me. Not only is she a wonderful, God-fearing woman but an AMAZING vocal coach. I've already had my third session and can already feel and hear a difference. She is also in the midst of rebuilding her hometown Flint, Michigan. Giving hope to the children, families and the city itself. This re-ignited my passion of creating my non-profit organization for under privileged children in urban areas. A good friend of mine, Jordan Swain, has a non-profit organization with the same mission I want to put out. I feel as though God is telling me to stop putting it on the backburner and DO IT! So, with that said I will be brainstorming my ideal NPO. Now, that brings me to an incredible individual that I was introduced to Byron Nelson, Independent Representative of ACN . This man was so incredibly bright with a crystal clear vision, and a strong faith in God. He has achieved mega success personally and financially. He inspired me to start looking at things in a business perspective as far as my goals and anything in my life that I need to accomplish. I truly believe it was purposefully meant for me to encounter these two individuals right now in this particular point in my life. While I am a work in progress, I feel confident of a relationship with the two. They say the top five people you have in your circle is a mirror of you. That definitely made me ponder about myself as it should for you. I felt compelled to share this amazing experience with you all. Where this journey takes me is exciting and scary but I believe things take a turn for the BEST! XoXo Keila

UPDATE: I am no longer seeing the vocal coach and I have put my NPO on hold for now. When I am able to receive the right resources and time the NPO will come to life. No doubt about it.
