Had my first audition at ASG for a Toyota spot to run only in Canada. It was another kinda last minute notice thing. Don, at KSA, told me the wardrobe was golf attire. I threw on some khakis, a polo shirt and some dress shoes. The spot was entirely about this guy going to play golf, and it seemed to go just fine. I was glad I wore the hard bottom dress shoes since there was a sound bit involving a mat on the floor. As I left, some of the other guys coming in were dressed in jeans and t-shirts...one had sandals on. I wondered if they just didn't get complete info from their agents, or if they figure it never matters what you wear. Several hours later, Don called to let me know that ASG wanted me to come back Monday, again for Toyota (Canada), but this time different attire and a different spot. I don't know if it's the same guy in a different spot or whether everything is different.
The UCLA film thing was interesting. The role was a bit outside what I consider my "essence". I didn't get the sides and script until the morning of, which, combined with the last minute commercial audition, cut down on my prep time. It was my first adventure onto the UCLA campus. I got mildly off track looking for parking and then discovered there was metered parking available on the campus itself. I'm not sure I'm what they're looking for, but I had fun in the meeting. Right now, I'm trying to get out there as much as possible to get more auditioning experience with the techniques I've been practicing in class.
