A very busy day with a lot of hurry up...and wait. It hasn't even finished yet. But I've been onto it. From the beginning. The early bird catches the worm-oh yes, it's true! The day has had little chance to escape me. I've been nailing it down since the crack of dawn.
I began, as all proper people do, with a quick look in the miracle book. I took a poignant thought for the day. It said something about love. I can't really remember what exactly- hey, I'd only just woken up, remember! No time to dwindle. Spirituality: check. Next, I ran 3 miles, emailed my managers about films I do not have auditions for and then prepared for an audition that I do have. Fitness: check. Career: check, check. How good is that?!
Today's audition was the kind of where you 'D.I.Y'. You then send in the tape. In order to achieve this, you have to either pay a studio $100 or you have to have friends. Luckily, I have a very dear friend who helps me do these things, so off to her house I went. I arrived at 1.30 and left her house at 10.30. Did I earn any money for any of this? No. Did she? No. Let's not bring that up in front of her. We, of course, ate lunch, discussed potential projects that we should be working on ourselves and dissected the careers of other actors we know. We then attended to the case in hand and started filming my audition. There were quite a few mistakes, but also some good takes and then I was the typical actor, agonizing over which take to send. It is very annoying being with actors and being an actor. You can easily annoy yourself! Don't worry. I relate. Currently, I am still waiting for files to upload.
A short trip to whole foods on the way home proved that I am not cool enough to be in this city. EVERYONE looks trendy there. Even the check out staff. The customers look like they've come out of a pret a porter runway show! And here I was, thinking I was onto it today! Onto it? Yes, but not for LA.
