Today's Auditions

Today I went to 2 auditions...well yesterday I went to two auditions. One was a callback and the other one was a first call.

They were both actually in the Santa Monica area and were about 2 hours apart. So I went over to my friend George's apartment to talk about the details of the concert and about the percussion stuff. But that's another post.

About the auditions. I went to a first call at 245pm with Martin Casting. They were the ones whom I booked the Marshalls' commercial with. It's always a good thing to be called again to their casting office and doing things. I thought I did reasonably well. It's really just a look. I really didn't have to do much but just be there and hope they want my look. That's the world of Commercial auditions. Do they buy my look. If they do, then it's all good. I thought I looked as close to the part as I possibly could so I thought it was good. There were three other people in the room all playing different parts. The other three had lines. I just interacted quietly with the other three. So it was all cool. See if they will call me in for a callback.

Now as for the callback, it was with Renita Casting. I went to that audition the day my friend Tim left. I wasn't even sure of what I did in that audition. I felt literally I didn't do anything. But I guess I had the look they were looking for and it's great to go to their callback. I did and did the spot pretty much as it was. I thought I had a good chemistry and vib with the other guy. It was pretty fun and I had a fun time. Now it's just a matter of if they want it or not.

I really did enjoy all these auditions. I am really starting to finally getting a much more solid grasp of Commercial auditions. I feel so much more confident about it, even though I also know absolutely none of it is really in my hands. A very bizarre combination, but I'm very much in tune with it now. I am very happy about it.

Tomorrow...well I guess today now, I have yet another commercial audition. I have to wear rags....But I don't really have rags. And I remember my teachers saying you never wear costumes. I think I know exactly what I'm going to wear to this. I have to be able to walk out into the street and still look sane wearing what I am going in the audition with. So this one's going to be challenging. But it really is so much fun. Really what other jobs in the world lets me do this!

I am a lucky guy!
