Back to reality...........Keep it moving people!

TV Audition: "Las Vegas” @ Liberman/Patton Casting
The role of Driver.
------
So I wrapped my shoot for O13 (we were in Anaheim) and I flew through traffic back to LA to try to make this audition. I felt a bit rushed and flustered when I arrived. I tried to calm myself down and slow things up a bit(after all, it had been a long day!), went in and did my thing. I felt pretty good about it. Not great....just pretty good. Still, I did the best that I could. I really didn't even think I would be able to make this audition...since I had no idea when we would wrap our scenes. Fortunately, I made it.

This was one of those tricky auditions where one could possibly sabotage themself. By that I mean, I wasn't on the top of my game with this one. Since I only had the sides the night before, it was hard for me to get off book on that material, while I DEFINITELY had to be off book for O13. Priority had to go to O13. Still, I kept a copy with me at all times. Just to glance at it every now and then. (The part on Las Vegas didn't have that many lines anyway. Still, more of a reason for me to have it committed to memory.)

There's a very good saying in the acting business. "You're only as good as your last audition." Meaning, you might think an office really likes you. They may bring you in for all sorts of stuff, time and time again. You know they want to book you on their show. They like your work, personality, hustle, etc. But that can all end if you lay an egg or bomb just one audition. So what's the lesson. BE ON YOUR GAME! Don't take any of these opportunities off! Again, sometimes we forget how special it is JUST TO GET THE AUDITION! Give it the respect and time it deserves. Because if you blow it.....that could be your last one in that office for a while.

So we'll see what happens with this one. I did the best that I could. In the meantime, no time to dwell on it. It's on to the next one.

ps. Oh yeah, and then after the audition, I headed out to class w/ Ivana. Busy day...But I love it! Living the dream baby....living the dream.
