I went down to Castaway Studios this morning for the audition. Once again, no sides. All I knew was that it was for Dunkin' Donuts, which doesn't really exist out here, and that I was to wear a suit. After I finally found a parking space, I jumped out to feed the meter. It took my dime, but then flipped out over my quarter flashing its "Out of Order" sign. I thought maybe the quarter got jammed up, so I put in a nickel. No problem...wait...problem...it only gave me credit for the dime and the nickel. Since there wasn't another space around and my appointment time was at hand, I just jammed 4 or 5 dimes down its throat with it registering every other one. When I finally got it up to 30 minutes, I took off.
The audition sides were by the sign in sheet, and I couldn't make any sense out of it. Repeating lines? Are these all for one person or do we just pick one line? The session runner told me to go into the other room to listen to the song. The what? There was a silly little 7 or 8 line jingle playing on endless repeat in the room. Basically, we were to learn the song so that we could sing a small portion of it in the audition itself while doing some other activity. Weird, but not a real problem. The session runner kept looking at us like we weren't getting it, and making comments about how everyone else was screwing it up. I don't think I screwed it up so we'll see.
