A two-audition day that worked out perfectly. The auditions were solid. No unexpected surprises. For "Life", a series that I enjoy, I gave an initial read that was more understated or channeled the anger of the character differently. Josh redirected me to more of a clear expression of that anger and I felt satisfied with my adjustment.
The Home Depot was a silent, physical audition...a guy just doing stuff.

Audition: House M.D. @ Amy Lippens Casting
My first time into this office came, I think, as a result of casting workshops I did with the associates last year. The role is short and sweet, and so was the read. I discovered that I may have a bit of a bad habit of not instinctively looking at my reader. I made plenty of eye contact before and after, just not on my line. It's probably the result of all the commercial auditioning, which is played more to the camera. I don't think it should matter that much in this particular audition because it was so quick, but I have to remember to coach myself a little more just before going in next time. Auditions are perhaps like seeing one's brand new beau/belle off for an extended trip. For now, I must kiss her goodbye and go about my business. If she comes back to me, we'll have a grand time together.
I had to come back and add a couple more thoughts, because I'm reminded of an audition I had while living in Atlanta. I hounded my then agent (not Houghton) to submit for a movie that I found out was shooting in North Carolina. After a couple of weeks, my agent called with the audition. After rehearsal for a show I was doing, I drove the 6.5 hours up to Wilmington, N.C arriving at 3am. I booked a hotel room to catch some sleep before my 9am audition. At the casting office, I grabbed the sides for my role. I walked in, did it and was back on my way to Atlanta within about 3 minutes. The next week, I got a callback. Nice. This time I drove up and back in the same day. Yikes. In the casting office, I found out that I was called back for a different role. This one had 5 words. I was in and out within 60 seconds. Another 6.5 hours back to Atlanta. Later, I was told the production cast native Brits who were living in the Southeast. This is one of the reasons I moved to LA. I couldn't see doing that Wilmington trek again and again like that. The sides may have been short, but so was the drive.
