My First Audition — Let’s get down to business! [F]
I had recently been scouted to audition for a supporting speaking role in an upcoming feature film, due in part to my looks. You can imagine how surprised I was to learn this, and of course I accepted the opportunity to try. The catch (I suppose); I had FIVE pages of dialogue to memorize and deliver in a standard American accent. I am not at liberty to divulge details beyond that I do not think, but I will say that it will be a live-action adaptation of a beloved classic that is going to be internationally popular.
I found myself gesturing a lot when I was practicing so it was less stressful on the day of my appointment when it was encouraged of me to do my audition/reading as I rehearsed it. I had fun. We must have gone over it at least five times because I chocked on my first two read-throughs LOL. Yeah… Probably not a thing any casting agent wants to see or hear about but hey, they knew what they were getting when they sent the call out I suppose (*cough my handsome face cough*), and hopefully they see the character in me too, because how cool would that be.
I’ll just leave this here:
