Man, Do I Need to Catch Up With Auditions
Yikes, I’ll try to knock these out in the next few. I had a student film audition in Studio City, just across from the Universal Studios parking lot. I read for a dad in a flashback scene, talking to his son during a hike in the woods. The director really liked what I did, he said, but a few have said that to me, and I’ve gotten into the habit of forgetting about the audition after I finish it (unless I think I did poorly, in which case I try not to beat myself up about it for too long).
Right before I walked into that audition, however, I got a call to audition the following day for a feature. That was exciting, especially since the director had already seen me work, and thought I was right for the lead role. Oh, yeah. That’s the kind of confidence boost I could use just before I do every audition. I did my thing, three or four times to the direction of the, um, director, and left. I hurried home because I had a full script to read before that next day’s audition.
Not much to tell about that one, since it went very well, and I booked the lead in it. What what? Yes, I got the part, and we shoot the second week of July. To undersate it a bit: I. Am. Excited.
