"Supernatural" Audition!

It feels so good auditioning for things other than commercials. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy those ones, too, but there's something about getting sides, developing your character, and getting to act! Today marks another first, too. It was my first audition for Coreen Mayrs and Heiki Brandstatter. Oh, and my first time over to Lions Gate Studios. The audition itself went fine. I didn't get the sides until I got there, but there were only a few sentences, and I got there in plenty of time to go over them, and to develop something. Even if I'm not right for this character, I'm glad to have gotten the chance to audition for them. I hope this leads to more down the road!

"88 Minutes" Audition!

Woweeee. Yesterday, late afternoon, I got a call from my agent saying she has a "very interesting audition" for me... for a movie... with Al Pacino... and my scene would be with him! It was for a very emotional scene in the feature film "88 Minutes", where I had to react to a speech given by Al Pacino. So I went to the audition today, and TOTALLY ROCKED! It was what I consider to be a very hard audition - a very emotional scene, with very little lead up into it. In fact, it was "slate your name, and go right into it". We had to react to the last few sentences of the speech. But I totally got into it. It felt awesome! At the end of it, the casting director even gasped, "Aw!"

I feel so great to audition for a movie, and even greater that the audition went so well. I really have no indication, though, of what they're looking for. But I'm just elated that I had a great audition. It could be tricky getting this part, though, as they're also casting a mom & dad for my character. I always have trouble getting cast when there's family members involved. But no matter - I left with the knowledge that I prepared my ass off, performed my best, my best was "on", and that's all I can ask for.

Cross your fingers for me. :) HOO-ahhhhh!!
