Stepping back into the Arena

Hello All, I know it has only been a few days, so you must be surprised to see a post so soon, but progress, whether great or small is still progress!

Just quick update, currently working on a scene to preform for a Managers Showcase at The Actors Green Room Wednesday night! There's a lot of taping/filming going on in NYC this season and its about time Johnny Sal got into the mix, so cheers to landing a manager that can help get me there!

Hello friends & fans, attached is a picture from my birthday dinner. I spent the weekend in Newport, RI with my wonderful girlfriend Diana. We had an amazing trip and truly embraced being on vacation. Its been said that short trips away help focus the mind, and I for one, am a firm believer. I came back from my trip re-energized and poised to tear up fall as the business starts to heat back up.

I know it's been a while since my last post (as seems to be the trend despite my best intentions) so here's a synopsis of what I've been up to...class, intensive, showcase, class, intensive, showcase~hahahaha. All kidding aside, that really is what I've been up to with some quality auditions mixed in. I've always known the trajectory my career would take and I am happy to report that I am right on track. I've taken the steps in improve at my craft and sharpen my skills and I've put myself in front of the casting directors that call the shots!
I have read for primetime casting directors such as NBC's Trey Lawson, ABC's Janet Murphy-Butler, Fox's Clint Alexander and Kimberly Graham of Judy Henderson Casting. I have also worked with Angela Mickey of Liz Lewis Casting, Lauren Bass, Allison Estrin, Judy Bowman. All of which helped prepare me for the road ahead. I know where I am on that road and I know where it leads me. Although I am excited for where I am going, I am enjoying the journey to get there.

Next stop is primetime, films and fingers crossed a national commercial. Until, then I continue to keep the pedal to the metal with the adage in mind:

"success is what happens when preparation meets opportunity"

Thanks for stopping by and your continued support...

Until next time,

John Salutare

Hello friends and fans,

I am happy to report I landed a speaking role in a TV-Pilot taping at the end of the month-I will disclose more info as it becomes available. Not only is it cool to be able to look forward to the opportunity to work, I was cast within 5 minutes of walking out of the room-I had just hit the street and received a call saying, "we loved you and are going to use you, not sure where/how yet, but it will be a speaking role-great job!" Special shout-out to #timphillips this was my first audition after taking his audition tune-up at #paulmichaelsthenetwork and I can totally fell the difference in my read/work!

It could not have come at a better time, as I prepare for the biggest weekend of my career! I will be auditioning for 4 casting directors from the top networks in the industry on Saturday (ABC, NBC, Fox and Network TV).

Hello friends and fans, my apologies for such a long absence. The good news is-I've been busy! Highlights of the year include: modeled for a book-cover, booking a regional TV commercial, my work being featured on several sites and OBVIOUS magazine declaring me a model to watch in a write up they posted online. In addition to auditions and go-sees, I attended several seminars, workshops and next week I am taking a master auditions class with Tim Phillips at The Network. I am very happy to say that I am freelancing with an agency that I wanted to work with since I first got into the business. Whats coming up? In addition to the audition class, next week I start a 3-week hosting class with Brad Holbrook and the best part is...I will have a demo-reel showcasing me as a host at the completion of the class!

Yes, its fair to say I have been busy and things are really picking up...

Next stop???

Thank you all for the support!

Catching up

A post is long overdue. After taking a few months off to recharge and cleanse the body, body and spirit I got back into the game at the beginning of February. I am happy to say it was a very productive month that consisted of meeting w/ potential new representation, reconnecting with agents that I currently freelance with and a couple fun networking events; I was even able to attend a fashion show at Lincoln Center and an after party to mix/mingle with fellow industry peeps.

I am happy to say things are going well and March is looking bright!

Back in the swing of things

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 21:39:00 +0000

Hello World, I know its been a good while since I have posted. The summer was a whirlwind of good times and many memories. I pretty much took the summer off from acting/modeling but finished strong at the end of August with a shoot that will be delivering very good work from Brian Callabrese. Most recently I am getting back into the swing of things with a very fun shoot in @TimesSquareNYC. Attached is a sneak peak at images from both shoots. Thank all of you both close friends and fans for you support. I hope this post finds you all doing well.

TODAY IS THE DAY...

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:50:00 +0000

TODAY IS THE DAY

Its a simple statement, but its powerful. Whatever it is you want to accomplish, it all starts with making the decision in your mind that your going to do it. Then it all begins, so is TODAY that day? Is TODAY the day you put things in motion? Stating TODAY is THE day doesn't mean its all going to happen today, but in a sense, it does because in order to arrive at THE DAY its completed, it had to be started on A DAY preceding it!

I hope TODAY is a GREAT DAY for most and a GOOD DAY for all

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 15 May 2012 00:29:00 +0000

What an eventful few weeks and dare I say months, and really while I am at it, an argument can be made for a few years. Those of you that read my blog when posts come out can testify that I am usually up to something!

After a few outings with the family that included a trip to Merytle Beach and a friday night Yankee game for my brothers bday that led to him and his friends being comatose pretty much as expected, I am preparing for another trip to the good old city of LAS VEGAS!!!!! That's all I have to say about that (in true Forest Gump dialect).

As for professional news, I have been out on several castings over the last few weeks, but none better than the audition I had for a part is a short film this past Thursday. It was my best audition yet. one that lets an actor know he/she is doing the right thing and on the right track! My fellow performers know what I am talking about here! Could I have done a few things better/differently, sure...but a great feeling nonetheless.

Lastly, I am happy to report that after several months of leg work, I am only a few short weeks away from launching my new strategic marketing company. Any entrepreneur knows opening a new business always comes with its own challenges and rewards! I will be very happy to celebrate the public opening of my baby and look forward to your support and feedback when I do!

Johnny Sal...OUT!

Counting back

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 03:28:00 +0000

Look at the clock
The ticking clock tics
Forward on it goes
How much time
Does one have
Before they must go
How much "time"
Does One have?
I must be there
They say
How much time
Before I must be on way?
Oh I have so much to do
Today

Special thanks to everyone who
Stays up on what I'm doing, how the career is going and how life is treating me. To all of you I say thank you.

A vista for All

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:31:00 +0000

For those that prefer
Prettier linguistics
A play on the senses of
Hearing, sight and touch...

A church bell rings out
Ever so softly
In the background
Overpowered by natures'
Summertime tune
While the wind blows
Upon my face
From the west...
The direction of home,
Yet in this moment,
I am at home here,
On this ledge,
On top of this mountain,
Overlooking beauty
Both manmade
And God created,
A sight to be kept
For all...
My days to come,
A blessing,
I wish for
ALL!

A Moment To Take In

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:01:00 +0000

A top a mountain

I climbed,

To a view,

This ink cannot describe.

The sun to my right,

The moon to my left,

And foreign tongue fills the air,

Interrupted by the wind

Which carries the song

Of birds and their insect neighbors,

Quarreling for their spot

On this epic stage,

On top of the world

Looking down on Florence.

A moment better left to simple verse,

A beauty painted

By the hand of God

Left as a reminder

For the lucky FEW

And the ignorant MANY

Your days are for YOU!

Spend them wisely,

Spend them slowly,

Enjoy them FULLY,

LIVE THEM ALWAYS.

Budweiser...the king of beers

On my way to a go-see for a Budweiser commercial, wish me luck!

You Know Me...

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:41:00 +0000

Good morning, and happy Friday.

First I hope your week went well and your weekend is looking bright!

Things have been going really well on my end, I have been out auditioning again and going on a lot of castings for modeling jobs, and I am happy to report I am feeling really good about where I am and where I am heading. Recently, I have been on castings for BICARDI, PERNOD RICARD, MTV Mobile and GREY GOOSE. Still waiting to hear if I have a shot at Grey Goose...but all the castings we successful because I was there. I was seen, and I learned and got better from each experience.

It is nice when you stop and realize things are panning out...we spend a lot of our lives on the front lines that we rarely take the time to look back and see the path we've worn into the earth behind us, the stops we have made, and the events that led us to wherever we are. Remember to give yourself credit for the things you do and to try to not to beat yourself up when things don't go the way you may have wanted. Whether you believe it or not, things happen for a reason, so try and connect the dots, let go of the reigns a bit and enjoy your NOW and let the THEN come to you!

Hurricanes you call that a hurricane I will show you a hurricane

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 16:09:00 +0000

A back in the day pic...one rainy morning 3 years ago!

Its called Hurricane Rocket! I have made many claims on my blog, all with good intentions and then sometimes have not followed through for whatever the reasons, but the more i speak to people the more I realize close friends relatives acquaintances and fans to check up on me and my progress as I climb the ladder toward the top...thank you to all of you. You know who you are bc your reading this...I very much appreciate your love and support. I promise to get back to updating this and all my sites when mid-september rolls around. Between now and then I will be working the US Open and wont be on a computer for a while, but come mid-september its like going back to school...just call me Rodney Dangerfield...Not really going to back to school but I will be knocking down doors and hitting the streets of NYC on a serious mission! So I hope this entry finds you and your loved ones safe and sound from Irene and for those without power enjoy going back a few years and letting go of technology (easy for me to say I know)

Again thanks for the love support and thoughts...keep em coming!

Back safe and sound

So I have been back for a week, have feet back under me and am off to the races after a stay-cation for an extended weekend with the family. Here is the link to see the pictures from the trip, and soon there will be a video of the experience. Thank you to all of you for you love and support.

Time to kick the tires and light the fires

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 02:20:00 +0000

And so it begins...a week of Ireland under the belt and what a week it has been. Great times had and shared with close friends and memories made. Couldn't have asked for more, the experience is what I was expecting and looking for thus far and is about to turn the page to the next chapter of the trip. I am just a few short hours away from landing in Brussels and once these feet hit the ground the story really begins!

I am short on sleep and long on energy of the experience, so for now...thank you to my friends for a great week...I love you all...to my family thank you for the love and support and I am alive and well and will contact you soon.
