Callback at Johanna Ray's casting. This went really well...although it started out kinda rocky. When I arrived, this actor who goes only by the name of Daz was there, and he informed me that no one was in the office. "Huh...strange", I thought. I went in and did a little looking around and I didn't see anyone either...so I assumed he was correct. I went back outside the office where Daz was and we began to chat a bit while I fixed my hair in the window, which I was using as a mirror. After a few moments of my fixing my hair and checking my lipstick in this mirror/window, I heard a tap coming from the inside. Sure enough, Johanna, Jenny and the director of the film were in the middle of a Session inside the room of the very window I was using for my mirror. Oh, and not to mention the poor actor who I'm sure I created a ridiculous distraction for! I was soooo utterly embarrassed!! I mean, you have NO idea!
Anyway, I read for them twice...and I think it went pretty well. The director asked me if I did choreographed dance, and I told her yes. I was about to leave when Johanna nudged Rachel (the director) and asked her about me singing. Rachel asked if I sang and I told her yes. Then she asked me if I wanted to sing a little for them. I sang a little of St. Louis Blues, a song I'd done back at USC in a production of Blues for an Alabama Sky, by Pearl Cleage. That went over really, really well. They LOVED it! In fact, I think they liked the song more than my read...which is funny b/c I SO don't consider myself to be anybody's singer. But it was very cool nonetheless, and I got to leave on a very positive note...which is awsome since I started on such a terrible one...lol. This is such a cool project...I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one!
