The Auditon

Okay, now we all know the auditon process is supposed to be a fun and easy experience....right??

DEFINITION OF AUDITION:

1. A trial hearing given to a singer, actor or other performer to test suitability for employment.

2. A reading or other simplified rendering of theatrical work, performed before a potential backer, producer, etc.

3. Something that is HEARD.

Now, when we as actors have an audition, normally we get our sides in advance so we know what to expect. We do a character breakdown and memorize our lines. (Well, most of the time)

So, today, once again I get up at the crack of dawn to be at an "Audition" in Hollywood off of Cahuenga at 10am after driving all the way to Northridge last night (3 hours mind you----NOT COMPLAININ') last night for my table read for the Pilot I'm in. (Yay, I love my character!!) I finally get back home @ 11:30pm, make myself a cup of tea and go night, night. (Gotta get my beauty rest). I think to myself, this audition is going to be a piece of cake, all the CD wants me to do is fill out some paperwork and tell him in one minute who my favorite Actor is and why. Sooooo, I got this!! Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp...I mean who wouldn't love them??? Talented and well, come on..Johnny is sooooooo gorgeous!! I even printed up a picture of him so I could show the CD how gorgeous he really is, of course besides being talented..we mustn't forget that!

Well I finally get there and get myself prepared and walk in to the Studio. I say "HI", to the receptionist, (I always try to be kind) then I looked down on the desk. I saw a paper taped to it that says, "NO CHEATING ON TEST". I look around the room and see everyone with a clipboard. What??? The receptionist then hands me a clipboard with a paper attached to it and says, "No cheating, no asking your neighbor for answers and no checking your cell phone." "No, no", I said; "Wait a minute, I'm here for an audition not a test". She said, "All of you have to take a test". WHAT???? Soooo, I take the clipboard and sit down. What was I going to do, drive all the way back home??? Nope, I'm a trouper!

Well, of course I wasn't prepared so I didn't know the answers to half of the questions. I don't watch Gossip Girls (Shhh, don't tell anyone) I thought that show was for teenagers. I mean if I would've known, I would done my research, ugh!

So, I finish my test, go in the audition room and he says okay put your stuff here, I just need to take a few pic's of you and you can go. I said, "What, I don't I get to tell you about my favorite actors?". He said, "Not today". Really??? I was completely disheartened. So, he took a few headshots and said, "We're done". Wwweeeellllll, I insisted! I took my picture of Johnny out of my purse and said, "Well, I'm going to show you anyway". I showed him the picture and said, "How you could possibly not love this face, besides his talent, isn't he gorgeous?????". They just laughed.

What's a girl to do??

THINK I GOT THE PART???? LOL
