Audition: Untitled Darlene Wesgor/Carol Leifer PILOT @ Tracy Lilienfield Casting (This is a series regular role. Thanks Robert! I know this was all you :)
This was my first time auditioning for Tracy...I gotta say being SAG E is kinda like a golden ticket, but it also don't hurt to know the guy at the door...lol. The role was for a nurse in her 30's...not exactly my type but as one of my acting teachers once said, "and audition is never about getting the job, it's about building a relationship". The audition went well and Tracy and Laura laughed alot. I saw my friend who works in the office and thanked him for getting me into the office so quickly. He was like, I determined to get you in before I left. Hmmm...left? "Where are you going?", I asked. He told me that he was leaving casting and going into management. He's going to be working for a prestigious management firm that handles some pretty big stars. I gave him a BIG congrats and wished him well. He told me to give him some time and he would try to bring me on board...he even hinted at some hip pocket action if I needed him in the meantime. Now THAT people, is an Awesome friend. It's funny to think that we met years ago in Chicago when he was a directing student and I did one of his student films. Now he's leaving a great casting office for a job at a great management firm and I've got my first lead role showing on BET in June. Not too shabby. You never know where relationships will lead :)
Oh, and another perk of knowing someone in the casting office...you get actual feedback! Check it out:
"Just so you know, Tracy and Laura adored you. They didn't feel you were right for this part, but they said you were adorable and you carried yourself very well, especially seeing as you don't have a lot of [TV]experience on your resume.
You got a big KIM (Keep In Mind) on Tracy's session sheet, so hopefully she'll be calling you in for projects soon. They had nothing but positive things to say. Good luck with getting back in there. Again, it was great to see you, and great job! "
Ok, I'll take that :)
