Hmmm.

When I got to my audition yesterday for the VO it looked pretty easy and straightforward, just read a few lines into a microphone. I even asked the guy running the mic or recording machine or whatever it's called to point out exactly which line I was supposed to say because there were about ten different lines on my side.

But of course, as soon as they say go, I read the wrong fucking line.

The guy running the microphone told me the wrong line to say.

This would only happen to me. I was trying to be as cautious as possible by asking just so I would look ready and prepared. But no. He had to ruin it for me. He whispered a little "sorry" to me as I was leaving but of course no one heard him but me. So I look like the idiot. Right after I started the incorrect phrase about 8 different people in the room start yelling "wrong! stop! other line! no!"

So of course that threw me off and I'm sure me other readings of the correct line were awful.
Total waste of the ONE audition I had all week. I hope the actors vote on the new contract that the AMPTP offered today, because this is lame.

Wing It.

Have an audition in the morning for a voice over for Old Navy I believe. I haven't ever auditioned for a VO job before and I don't really know how I came to get it, I am assuming Sheila submitted me for it.

Not quite sure how one even goes about auditioning for a VO job but I can probably wing it. As long as I don't feel rushed and everyone is nice I don't expect to feel too cornered.



I don't think I have ever encountered an audition situation that I cannot handle or that has been overly terrifying. I can thank the BFA program for that. I think I have pretty much suffered every indignity and had to face every fear I have thanks to that. Except for my fear of snakes. That will just never go away. Sometimes I consider moving to Ireland just so I never have to worry about encountering a snake ever again.

I co-hosted Mariana's radio show tonight as her usual co-host, Kenny, slept through pretty much the entire broadcast. It was really unfortunate for poor Kenny. It happens to the best of us though. I called in and chatted for two hours since it was the pre-Oscars show so I could definitely talk about that for a while. It was quite fun and entertaining for me. I think about 12 people listened! That seems like a pretty good amount seeing as I was completely random and people were expecting Kenny.

I definitely don't have a radio voice though. The sound of my voice grates my nerves. I don't know if this bodes well for my audition tomorrow. We shall see i guess.
