most messed up audition ever!!!

K so today, I had an audition for an anti-smoking ad which is fine and cool. I don't like smoking so it seems cool. and it would be my first pay job!! yay!! Unfortunately, the whole audition was soooooooooo messed up. So first we're driving around Seattle,which, if you've ever been to Seattle you know, SUX A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seattle is the worst city ever to drive in. It doesn't have the worst traffic ever (although it was pretty bad today and I can say that since I used to go down to L.A. for long periods of time), the roads make absolutely no sense at all. It's pretty much impossible to find anything and all the rules for finding where streets go normally are wrong here. stupid...

So, anyway,once we finally found the place and found parking (which was significantly harder than actually finding the place :P), we went inside and found a spot to sit and fill out the forms (they always give ya a casting sheet or whatever to fill out with all ur info and crap.). The fun started when I saw another guy's resume who was sitting in the waiting room. CRAP!!!! I FORGOT MY HEADSHOT!!! Now I had learned in my previous classes and stuff that if you forget your resume/headshot, you can pretty much count the job out. After this devastating realization, I looked over the script again for the audition, thinking i could just "wow" the casting director so much, he would overlook my mistake. Now before I go on, realize that I just got this script today, this morning. I had no idea that I had an audition today until about noon today and the audition was at 2:10. So I didn't exactly get a lot of time to look over the script. Anyway, I figured beforehand that I only had one line in the commercial and this jingle that was on the script would be sung by a chorus or whatever like they usually do. nope... turns out that the part I played was actually singing the song!! Oh crap! So now I have about 2 minutes to figure out this song which doesn't have a tune to it at all. So i have to make up a tune for this song and then sing it to this guy in about 2 minutes. so i hurry and make up a stupid tune and hope that that will work. It doesn't help matters that I haven't sung in front of anyone in years and am kind of embarrassed to do so. And by "kind of embarrassed" I mean "really embarrassed". So I haven't sung in front of anyone in years and now i'm about to go in and sing a song i memorized in 2 minutes that has a tune i just made up on the spot. So i'm freakin out when the guy calls me in. He's nice enough tho so i'm a little more calm. So, I slate (say my name, age, stuff like that) and he tells me to get on the couch and do the part of the second person! Turns out, I was never meant to do that part at all! I was doing a completely different part that doesn't say anything!!! OMG!!!! So i freaked out and memorized this jingle for nothing!! ugghh... so messed up. Well, at least it went pretty well once I was actually in there. It's just everything else that I could have screwed up on, I did...

K well, that's all for now I think. If you have a Wii hooked up online, please comment or PM me and i'll add you to my friends list. Peace everyone!
