ummm...not original

thought this was funny. the other girl in the waiting room and i were wearing the exact same outfit, just by chance. black leggings, white t-shirt, and black jacket. i guess thats what "sexy" translates to right now

ps. this audition was for an independent horror movie that they wouldn't release the script for as if it was some big secret even though i'd never heard of it and the movie has no money, but whatever, less work for me. at one point the director actually said to me "can you read this bonus scene, but DON'T BLOG ABOUT IT" and i was literally thinking "um, blog about what exactly...". but honestly the director wasn't as bad as the "reader" that they hired? i guess? who could HONESTLY barely speak english and was trying to make acting choices. it took all of my acting skills not to break character, laugh, and scream "are you fucking serious right now? is this a joke? what in gods name is going on here" i kept my cool though and the audition went well, so as usual i'll keep my fingers crossed.

yup, had to change in the car again

just another awkward waiting room

one thing i HATE, and i can confidently speak for all actors on this one, is when you can hear the actor before you auditioning. so basically you're sitting there trying to prepare and feel confident in your choices and you HEAR EVERYTHING the girl before you is saying which are, obviously, the exact same words you spent all night memorizing. now sometimes its kinda funny i'll admit, cause you can say to yourself "well she sure didn't get that joke", but other times it's just nerve wracking. this waiting room was particularly cold and weird. none of the girls talked to each other, you could hear everything going on in the room, and it was SUPER weird for me cause i got caught taking a picture of the "library voice" sign, and instead of the office person laughing at it, she seemed annoyed.

sometimes you know going in what type of experience you'll have

here's the funny picture i got caught taking. if you can't tell it says "library voices please!!!! casting in session!"

the walk of shame so to speak

long days of pilot season

sooooo, had to go back to my appointment that apparently was on monday but it turned out to be on tuesday, which was annoying because i had another audition at the other end of the city only an hour and a half afterwards

all

wasn't as slick as i'd hoped while changing in the car



but i did it



sad thing is, this is how i felt after all that...

happy martin luther king jr day

soooooo, martin luther king jr day is a bank holiday right? anyway, i think it is and thought it was a little strange to have an audition that day, but it's what my appointment sheet said, so i went. when i got there there was no pass at the gate for me, but i INSISTED i was right and fought to get on the lot until they finally let me on 20 minutes later.
this is what i found

least favorite part

gotta pay the price. sitting in rooms of beautiful girls is great motivation, but god does it suck

sometimes you'll walk into a waiting room and know instantly that you're "not right" for the part. this was one of those days. i was one of the only blonds there. it's difficult not to let this "get in your head" before walking into the room. i tried not to let it, but the audition wasn't great. mediocre at best i'd say.




this is how you know you didn't get it for sure.
