So my Commercial agent called me out of the blue yesterday to send me on an audition today for a Wells Fargo Bank commercial. I said I would have to check my schedule and would call her right back. I had to talk to my boss to see how crazy busy she thought we would be today and if it would be alright for me to go. She gave the go ahead and so I called my agent back and got the details.
This would be a lot of firsts for me so that made me kinda nervous. First audition in LA; first audition for my agent; first audtition in front of a camera; first audtion for a commercial ...
I took a commercial class last year that I learned so much from and the audition itself wasn't as nervewracking as the fact that I hate doing things for the first time. Not to mention that I hate my wardrobe and was overwhelmed just a little trying to figure out what to wear. But since I was told the age range was 24-29 and that I had to look as young as possible, I opted for a brown t-shirt with nice jeans.
When I got to work this morning, my boss surprised me and we left the office for an hour and she took me to Banana Republic. She bought me a brand new outfit as a birthday present for this audtion. And let me just say that she is a FABULOUS shopper!! I definitely have to bring her shopping with me again!!
Anyway, so I have on my fabulous new outfit and leave the office at 1:15ish to get over to the audition by 2:00ish. Got there before 2 and once I figured out where to sign in (there was a nintendo print audition going on too), I read what the audition entailed and signed in.
Thanks to my boss, I had the best looking outfit there! ;)
So, anyway, the audition had no lines. I had to "walk in" with grocery bags in my hands, take out a long receipt and put it under a "magnet on the fridge that already had lots of receipts under it". Then, just as I was starting to "put groceries away", "the magnet starts sliding down the fridge from the wait of all the receipts". So I "watched it, forcing it to stop with the power of my mind". "The magnet stops sliding" and then I "open the fridge door to put something away and when I close it, the magnet falls spilling all the receipts".
(There was no fridge or magnet ... everything in quotes I had to mime)
I was asked to do it twice and that was it! =) All my firsts were over and done with! =)
Callbacks are on Monday ... haven't heard anything yet ... but who knows. *shrug* I'm just happy to have gotten through my first LA audtion!! =)
