Callback: Castrol @ Kari Peyton

This one was sorta funny. I got the call Friday about this callback for today. I arrived about 15 minutes early for the appointment as is my custom, and they were still finishing up work on a different spot in this campaign. The CD's assistant was calling the agents of 3 or 4 people who hadn't shown up for their appointments. One part of me was thinking, "What kind of professional doesn't show up for their callback?". However, another part of me was thinking that I'd hope my agents would go to bat for me if I had a legitimate problem. Sometimes, though, there's nothing anyone can do. The "powers that be" made their decisions within minutes of the end of that category and called the agents to check availability of their choices.

The session was running late. I was the second person called about 40min. after my appointment time. No biggie. Happens all the time. I basically just did the same thing I did in the original audition, having a little fun with it, and then the director redirected me several times. I did what I went in to do, and I think I responded to his direction. I'm a little out of practice in "letting it go" after an audition, but since it's about 6pm, I'm pretty sure I didn't get it. The next one is coming though.
