Audition: Miller Light @ Ross Lacy
Audition: Ipod @ Francine Selkirk-Ackerman
Audition: Sprite - I had to cancel this one as I now have a soft-drink conflict :)
Cool, I missed the original Miller audition on Wednesday so I'm glad it came back around...it went well.
After my audition I decided to go by Francine Selkirk casting (the casting director for the Mountain Dew spot). Earlier this week Tracy, Francine's assistant, called and asked me to mail in 2 headshots and resumes for the taft-hartley paperwork. Well, I don't really care for the whole "mail" thing, and I thought seeing her in person might help to speed up this whole paperwork process, since I'm not actually considered eligible until the paperwork is in SAG's system...And I found out that getting in the system can take a while if the paperwork is delayed on the production end. I also decided to pick them up chocolates as a "thank you". Now, mind you, they had very little to do with me getting that commercial, but I figured that since they were doing my taft paperwork, and this business is all about relationships....a little thank you couldn't hurt!
I got there with my two headshots and two boxes of chocolates with a thank you postcard on top in hand. The office was very busy and I wasn't sure where to go since I didn't really know what Francine or Tracy looked like. I walked into the office and this girl stopped me like I was up to no good or something...I guess they're leary of strange actors popping by...lol. She asked who I was looking for and I told her I was looking for Tracy. She was all like, "For what?" I told her that I was suppose to bring her two headshots. At that point a woman (that I'd later learn was Francine) asked me if I had been tafted, I said yes and she asked my name. I told her I was Jillian...and she was like "OH, Hi!! I'm Francine! Oh, and you got your voice back!" The girl I was talking to moved aside so I could go in and Francine came over and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek...wow, didn't expect that...lol...they were soooo nice, and she even remembered that I'd lost my voice last week, which I thought was crazy! I thanked them all and gave them the chocolates which they seemed to appreciate. I chatted with Tracy about the taft-hartley paperwork and she said she'd get it in in the next day or so...awesome! I thanked them again and as I was leaving Francine stopped me and said, "Hey, did call you for Ipod?" I told her no, and she told me to go over and audition...and I did :). Now THAT's what I'm talking about...lol. How awesome is that?!
My mama always said if you take one step, God will take two. I know all my work is not in vain and I know that I have the favor of God over my life...and that is an amazing feeling!!
