Callback: McDonalds @ Annie Egian Casting.
This went well. The ad agency for this spot is out of Chicago and I've worked with them before. Would be nice to get an avail...and nicer to get a booking.

Audition: My Name is Earl @ Dava Waite Casting (straight to producers!)
Ok...don't ask me where this came from! Got a call from my manager for a same day, straight to producer audition. I haven't gone straight to producers since my Acme days, and that was months ago. I go in and I see all these well-known actors, some of which I've been watching on TV for years. I couldn't help but feel so blessed sitting there among them...especially considering I have no union, no theatrical agent and only one LA credit..lol. God is amazing. There were all different types and races reading for my role so safe to say they haven't figured out what direction they want to go yet. The role was a young wealthy step-mom. I'm not sure if it was a guest or co-star, but the character has several scenes throughout the episode so at the very least it is a large co-star. My read went well, I read four scenes and they laughed during each of them and before I left Dava told me I had done very good work. They probably say that to everyone, but, hey, I'll take it! Nick Anderson was there too, I met him at Actorsite several months ago and he's a very cool guy. He's cool, but he can be Very tough...so when he laughed and told me I did a good job, I took it to heart. A few more auditions like this would be nice!

Today was a good day. It's weird but I swear the sun was even shining a little brighter this morning. I can kinda see the light breaking through the night. As crazy as Monday was, it really allowed me to put that situation to rest and Wed. allowed it to all be concluded. I'm now in the midst of cleaning up the aftermath and making sure I learn everything possible from this situation. I've been doing a good job of staying focused and staying positive and I know great things are in my future. I know my life is meant to be significant. I think today's auditions were only a glimpse of the blessings that I have in store if I continue to keep negative things out of my life. It may be just a coincidence, but I prefer to think of it as a sign....a sign that I am moving in the right direction.
I've been listening to a cd I got from West Angeles for about two weeks now...today I feel like I actually heard it for the first time. He talked about sometimes you can't receive the blessing of God b/c you're not in the right place. Sometimes God has to take you out of that place, out of your comfort zone...into the deep.
