“Not everything is what it seems to be,” said the King as he looked into the Court Jester’s mirror.”
Have you ever wondered what’s going on behind the closed doors of a casting agency?
What’s it like to be part of a nerve-wracking cattle call?
Would the casting director be one of those failed actors who has turned his bitterness for the business into a lifelong mission to humiliate terrified talent?
Would the waiting area be filled with intimidating, cutthroat competitors, exchanging stories of horror and faded glory? Or is all of that just a caricature, perpetuated in Hollywood movies about the trials and tribulations of aspiring actors?
Well, you’re about to find out!
Being the famous blogger I am, I was recently granted unprecedented permission to record one of my auditions for the enjoyment and continued enlightenment of my readers. Nothing’s more fun than learning from other people’s most embarrassing moments, right?
So, for once you get to be a fly on the wall, as I enter a casting agency at an undisclosed location near New York.
For those of you who’d like to read along, you’ll see that I provided a copy of the script.
Anything to please my faithful fans!
