Actor Growth

So I went to the Jeep Compass commercial audition today and there were a few other Asians there as well.  There wasn’t that many people overall though which makes me think that this was a pretty specific call.  For the audition I was suppose to be one of those workers at a store in the seafood areas where they grab the fishes out of the tank if you would like to purchase one.

To do this they had something that resembled a small tank and inside of it was this shiny dolphin doll.  At first when I saw it I thought it was pretty funny considering it had all this glitter on it.  For the scene, I was supposed to pretend that I had extreme trouble trying to get the fish out when a customer asked me for it.

So yeah…..I was basically pretending to struggle and wrestle with this doll and the casting director would give me cues on when I was suppose to change my emotions.  My final moment was that I was supposed to embarrassingly hand the fish over to the person who requested it.  I decided to just go with this dumbfounded expression on my face and the camera guy couldn’t help but to crack up and comment how anyone would be confused carrying a shiny dolphin.

It was short but very fun I thought.  Like always, it’s a wait and see game.
