Personal Message from ElmaI would like to thank everyone for your continual support and love during my 7years at 7de Laan. It's been an amazing time of my life which I will treasure for ever. I decided to leave 7de Laan because it was time for me to take on new challenges, to learn and to grow as a person and actress. And what an interesting time it's been since I left in June 2007. I went for a LOT of auditions and started to explore the different sides and 'characters' in myself. You have to re-invent yourself everyday and change your look and voice and attitude with every audition. I do the auditions with my whole heart, and then forget about it, because you will definitely lose all faith in your acting abilities if you don't get all the parts you so desperately want!Luckily I didn't have to wait too long for a new 'role'. I took the idea of 'change' to the limits and tried a darker, brown look for my 'growing!' hair.(See the details of my wonderful hairdresser, Terenzo, at the 'Link'-section on my website.) Some like it, some don't, but I want to see how the industry reacts to my new look. A change is as good as a holiday, but watch this space, I might just decide to surprise you again… Being a presenter on ONTBYTSAKE on KykNET gives me the opportunity to see our beautiful country and develop new skills as an actress. The only difference is that I am 'playing' myself now, and not a character. I love the unpredictability of the studio interviews, not knowing what is going to happen next. It makes the adrinalin flows and keeps every recording interesting. Sitting in studio with an earpiece in your ear, listening to 5 people speaking at once, while doing an interview and talking to the viewers, are just a few of the new and exciting things that I have to get used to as a presenter. Never a dull moment! Not to mention the 'elements' - wind and rain and unforseen circumstances which I have to cope with when on the field. And this sudden rain and cold weather is something to get used to! I still hope to do theatre and television series AND MOVIES(!) in the near future, and I even co-directed a show for KKNK, with 3 talented singers, Nedine Blom, Catherine Jones and Monica Burger. They really sing like angels and combine it with a bit of acting while sharing their lives with the audience. The show is called Slotte en Grendels. Some of you might have heard that there is a new reality show called 'Boer soek 'n vrou' on its way. Yes! You heard right, I will be helping some lonely 'boere' to find the love of their lives. So, if you know of any single farmers out there who find it difficult to meet people, make them fill in the application form in LANDBOU WEEKBLAD or go to www.kyknet.co.za. It's going to be a kind show, no sensation, and no public voting, so you won't be made fun of. Come on, try it!!! I take every challenge that comes my way and I face my fears constantly- something I will recommend to anyone who wants to experience life to the fullest. Don't be scared, you only way you will get wisdom, is to be willing to make mistakes. 2008 is flying, and I hope you realise how precious time is! Enjoy every moment.
