Already?

Did I skip a post yesterday? Wow. Seven full days before I messed up. I'm honestly not sure what went wrong . . . I think I just got mixed up-along with this bloggidy-blog-blog, I've recently started another daily writing project, and I think I got my wires crossed . . . ah well, on to the slightly bent point.

I had my first audition of the new year this afternoon. Or, I suppose I should say this evening, as the call was for 5:45. Having been thwarted by rush-hour traffic in the past (rush hour begins around 2pm and lasts until 1pm the next day), I decided to head over to "that part of town" plenty early. I'm glad that I did. Traffic wasn't too bad, and I found parking fairly close. The plan was to grab some coffee and finish my crossword puzzle for 40 min or so, then get to the audition.

However.

I've had auditions here that have been late before, so I thought I'd pop in to see if they were running ahead or behind. They were running behind. I went ahead and signed in immediately (45 minutes early), and didn't end up reading until 6:15 (30 late!) I'm a but surprised that I didn't have anything else on the schedule today . . . seems that auditions usually only run that late when there are six places that I need to be. It was great. No stress-No worry-No problem!

I felt great about the audition. Oh, it was long and slightly ridiculous, but I felt like I've offered them a viable option for what they're looking for. I'd like to be on the other side at some point to see the tapes that the clients get. I mean, the sheer number of folks auditioning today boggled my frail little brain. How do you look at so many faces and decide "there-that's the face that I want to see for half a second through half a football helmet during an action shot!" I'm sure that people stand out. They've got to. I've got to.

So, anyway. Felt good to get back into the room . . . now, let's BOOK SOME WORK!!
