Auditions & Coaches

So I am a member of a few casting websites. Basically, they send you the castings in which you fit the criteria. Out of the gazillions of jobs I've submitted myself for, I've gotten actual auditions for two ... both did not turn out as planned...

My very first audition opportunity was for a Fitness DVD for a "major" client. I don't know who the major client was, but I do know that the company has done DVDs for Billy Blanks, Kim Kardashian, Bob from The Biggest Loser, etc.  I was informed of the audition on a Thursday ... and the audition was that Saturday. It wouldn't have been a problem, if I actually lived in LA. Anyway ... I have a video to explain the problem further.



My second audition opportunity came from a writer/acting coach, via skype (So at least this time I wasn't out of $300). Prior to the audition we had chat convo on skype .. where he basically told me that he doesn't normally hire actors without a lot of experience. So I told him that I could change his mind (trying to sound confident). Anyway, the audition happens, I get nervous, I'm pretty bad apparently. According to him anyway ... blah blah blah ... and so now I have a new acting coach! 

I definitely need all the knowledge and experience I can get, so no complaints here! At least now I will have gotten my first bit of LA coaching before I get to LA. He honestly hurt my feelings a bit with his critique, but it definitely won't deter me from my dream, if anything I will work even harder. I still love it. All I can do is soak it all in, learn all that I can, and do my best! 

K, bye!
