Audition: Wendy's @ Renita Whited

Another audition today for a young husband, sports fan type role. The new headshots are doing the trick I think. The audition went well. My partner was a performer from Hothouse, so we sorta knew each other in a roundabout kinda way. It was my first meeting with Renita Whited. She's extremely nice and thorough, seems like a great person. I guess I meet 2 or 3 great people for every bad apple.

The audition was in one of the local casting studios (the ones with various projects casting at the same time). While waiting my turn, I heard the following exchange between a CD and an auditioner regarding a different project.

CD
You're here for the swimsuit audition?

Actress
Yes.

CD
Where's your swimsuit?

Actress
I don't have it with me. I came straight from school.

CD
Oh, well I don't have one you can wear. We'll be here til 6.
Do you live close enough to go get one?

Actress
(stares blankly)

CD
Do you have a bra or something you can wear?

Actress
I don't wear bras.

CD
Guess you're SOL then.

Actress
(stares blankly)

CD is clearly frustrated and goes back into the office to "talk to someone about it". Meanwhile, the actress stands there for a few minutes and then starts mumbling to herself that she can go home and get a swimsuit. Finally, the CD returns and the actress shares her pearl of wisdom.

Actress
I'll go home and get one.

CD
Great.

I thought it was priceless the way this girl stood there looking at the CD like he was supposed to solve her problem for her. On top of that, he did offer the option of her going home near the beginning of this whole thing. Instead of just doing that, she tried to whine and wheedle into avoiding it, prolonging the awkward situation for both parties. Very funny scene, and yet another reason some people treat actors according to the Least Common Denominator.
