As you could all read in the previous post, I was able to get into an audition for an eco spot. It went really great; I had the feeling that if I didn’t get the part it had to be because of my accent. I could say the lines from the part without accent, but then I also had to improvise ‘in character’. I just got a reply from Lisa Paul, who is the director and she wrote:
Hey Tom. Thank you so very much for coming in to read for us on Friday. We all thought you did a great job and were very funny. However, we have now cast someone in the role we needed to fill. We’re glad you came in and we thank you especially for doing so with almost no notice.
We have all your contact info, so if anything changes we’ll reach out to you. Thanks again & take good care.
I know it was only the first audition that I ever did, but I felt that I really had a shot. But we have to be realistic of course: some people do auditions for more then 3 years, without ever getting a part. Anyway, I hope to do some more auditions this month and hopefully…. I’ll keep you posted!
