NEW HEAD SHOTS

Super excited about this blog post

I had an amazing Head Shot Shoot with 

 Photographer Henning Fischer


The shoot took an hour. It was effortless, fun, and I received more images than I could narrow down.. I am seriously floored by how amazing this shoot was. Henning uses natural lighting, no flash and barely even considered the bounce board, that I think he only carried for decoration,lol.. Anywoo, I always love to get you guys feedback on new shots, Whats your favorite NON BIAS image and What Character do you see. My main goal for this shoot was to get images that read girl next door and that represent how I look when I go in an audition ohhh and to take the MODEL out of my look :-) So I decided on natural hair, min. make up and my ever faithful wife beater.. I'll let you know which ones my agent pics... also only one of the images below has been professionally edited so far

This is the only prof. edited shot

    Nikiva,
    I just came across your blog through another actor's blog. I just moved to LA and have been blogging everyday about my experiences.

    Anyway, I'm just connecting with other LA actor-bloggers and I liked yours. I swear I'm not spam. Good luck with everything, and the work you've gotten lately. Your headshots look great.

    My blog is http://www.themysteryyear.com/

    Best of luck,

    Jeff

HE'S PROTECTING ME FROM MYSELF

While washing my face last night I got excited! Literally, God’s plan just smacked me in the face. No, I don’t have his plan figured out but I was able to draw a parallel. As I walk this ‘faith based life’ I am constantly drawing parallels. That’s it! My faith is clearly a reflection of the many reasons he has given me throughout my life to trust him today and forever more.   So when it hit me last evening, I couldn’t help but get excited about his presence.   To catch you guys up to speed.. I’m looking for a place, I’m updating my comp card, portfolio and business cards. I’m shooting a webseries, I’m preparing for a pretty big meeting with someone I truly respect and admire and I’m auditioning ohhh and I’m wearing a ponytail, haaaa! Any whooo, I realized that this is one of the times in my life when God is protecting me from myself.           “There was a time when I would have said yes to that engagement. “ ...

Video 1 or Video 2 or neither one

Ok So this is the meat and potatoes of why I created Nikiva Dionne please add sugar.. The video sharing. I hope this works out because, I am totally still on training wheels with this blog thing. ANYWOOooh Today I took an extremely drastic step towards my dreams. I quit my job. I know, long story I'm not into detail sharing rite now. But, needless to say. I came home and I have been on my computer working for 6 hours straight. Every time I want to stop, i remember i don't have a job, and I keep going,lol.. But on my to do list for tomorrow was to work on my relatively new monologue tonight and be prepared to post the video tomorrow. Well, overly ambitious and feeling the burden of no definitive pay check, i started taping tonight. Only, this is uncut!!! No seriously, wife beater, hair pinned up, no make up uncut. I was going to let the hair down and make it real "model" like for the video but than I remembered. MAKE THE TRANSITION NIKIVA.... U are not work...

New Monologue- VIDEO FEEDBACK

Ok so below is a new video that I NEED YOUR FEEDBACK on. I think I really love this monologue. This is my FIRST rendition of it. If you guys think it's naturally good, meaning it's already believable, than i'll continue to work on it an develop it into an audition piece.  When I was taking scene study classes our instructor before she gave any feedback would ask the class... Did yall believe her? After all, that's what this is about. Was the performance convincing? Did this person appear to be someone who is going through this situation. These days I'm really working to find monologues that I'M IN LOVE WITH, that I can 'go into' at the drop of a dime, if i run into a director and they wanna see something. (yeah, I do stuff like that.. ) I remember i auditioned for a runway show in time sq. in front of espn zone and duane reade. LMAO I booked the show... so heyy 1st rendition from nikiva dionne on Vimeo . Listen, i've said t...
