Sorry for the delay in posting today - my audition was at 10:00 in Burbank, so I had to focus this morning! It was just a pre-read with the casting director - nothing on camera yet - and I think it well. Selena set up coaching for me last night with J., another casting director, and she was great. We worked on the material for an hour and she gave me some great insight. I went into the audition feeling really prepared. So this morning the casting director asked me if I had any questions and I said no because I felt like we had worked on it and I didn't want to throw off anything yet. If she wanted to give me adjustments afterward, that would be great, but I felt confident about the choices J. and I worked on. So I did the scene and at the end there was a moment that I was looking forward to doing, after the dialogue was done, but she cut me off and said, "Great. That is exactly the tone we are looking for." I was surprised, because I wasn't done just yet but I am not complaining. I'm glad I met what she was picturing in her mind. Unfortunately, for this role, the final casting decision will rely heavily on a "look" but I felt I did a good audition and hopefully made a fan. If I'm not right for this part, I hope they will call me in for something else in the future.
Remember that short film that I had a meeting on Saturday with the director? Well, he called me yesterday and wants me to play the part! I'm excited and looking forward to shooting in a few weeks. I think it should be fun and a good contender for festivals....I want to be in a film festival!
In other exciting news, I am scheduled to be a standby contestant on Wheel of Fortune tomorrow. I have to be at the studio at 7:45am, so there won't be a post tomorrow...unless, of course, the callbacks for Brothers and Sisters is tomorrow and I actually get a callback and then I have to cancel on WOF, in which case I would be able to write. But that is a bit of a long shot. Since I'm a standby contestant, chances are I will not get on the show tomorrow but the next time I'm brought in, I'm guaranteed to play. So I have to pay my dues to get paid. Word.
I'll keep you posted....
