It was two years last December since Rachael Soglin first moved to LA. The previous year was tough. Not a lot of auditions, and the few that came along were not successful.
Then something happened in mid-December. Maybe it was the new acting a class at Groundlings, an inspired coach working with her the day before each audition, or that new membership in the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
In any case three auditions back to back and Rachael landed all three roles. First came the Kellogg's Special K Fruit Crisp Bar. She works at a coffee shop where a slimmed customer contemplates a fattening Danish. The lines are memorable, "The usual...anything else?"
Next she landed a job on a yet to be released Verizon commercial where my petite little girl will be burdened by one of those massive 3 G maps.
Lastly she shot a series of spots for Fifth Third Bank, which unfortunately will not air in the Madison area. Yes, we are proud. It is not the Oscars but she is getting there.
The audio is not in synch with the video, but it is our Rachael.
Watch till the end, there is more of her!!!
In another post we will discuss the cost of four years to attend the University of Michigan as an out-of-state student. Actually UM was wonderful and the all around education she received along with modest but appreciated financial aid was well worth it.

Wow, I remember that ad. I remember it because I always cave in to coffee shops' unhealthy lack of selection.
