As I walked into the Actor's Studio for the second reading, I got a call from my manager about an audition at HBO tomorrow. For the role of Sarah Michelle Gellar's sidekick in a pilot she is starring in and producing. Nice one. Then my commerical agent called me about another audition for tomorrow too. So, so far tomorrow is looking like:
--go to salon and get hair blown out in the early morning (a must for big auditions - hey, you not only look great and camera ready, but you also feel more confident with a fabulous head of hair!) Any actress reading this - you need to find someone you can have on stand by for big auditions. As one Casting Director told me kindly a couple of years ago when I came in with hardly any makeup and a flat head of hair (and thinking that its only about talent - SHUH!): "you gotta look like one of the girls on Desperate Housewives EVERY time you walk through that door...."
--HBO audition
--Apple commercial audition
--coaching for my theater audition on Thursday
--spend afternoon writing for class
--writing class in the evening
--come home, work on theater audition
At the Actor's Studio today, I had a chance to meet the writer of the piece I'm auditioning for on Thursday. She was really nice - smart lady. I wish I would have had more questions lined up for her - but this is one of those pieces that I really feel you have to bite and chew a little bit at a time and would be really fun and challenging to work on. Is abstract and I dig it! I like a challenge.
The reading itself went well. I really liked this ensemble of actors this time. Last time was fine too, but I dont know, something about this group just jived. And each person I'm very fond of - a handful I know from various acting classes I've taken in the city. And super talented. Good company to be part of....
Good times, good times.
