Actor Growth

I was surprised today in going for an audition that was apparently for some kind of soup commercial. We weren’t given any sides and so everything was pretty much on the spot. Something interesting happened when I was in the audition room as this apparently was a non-union shoot. One of the performer there was a union member and therefore was told of the conflict. Therefore, he left. That was an interesting mix up I thought.

In the actual audition I was paired up with another lady. We were given a bowl and a plastic spoon. While standing up, we pretended to drink the soup with a happy mentality. Afterwards, we were told to start dancing which was new to me in an audition.

Therefore, the other girl and myself started dancing. The casting director before even made remarks such as twirling her as an idea. Well, we did do things like that and we were semi energetic. There was even one part where while dancing I pulled her up to me as if we were going for a big hug. That definitely got the room all psyched up.

Everyone was laughing and having a good time. It was funny too as usually at the end of auditions you would end it by saying your name in-front of the camera. The girl I was with said “I don’t know if I can remember my name after that” which was hilarious. She then said I made her day and all and we high-fived each other after the audition as it seemed very good.

Very fun experience.
