"When it rains, it pours"
Since signing with my new commercial agency in June, I was only sent out on 4 auditions. In almost 3 months. That worried me, especially since this agency was known for getting their people out a lot. Was it me? Was it my pictures? Did they not know/care/pitch me? There were a lot of questions going through my mind.
But I should have known: things just come in spurts. Sure enough, last week alone I had 5 auditions from them. 2 for print, 2 for SAG national commercials (the big ones!) and 1 for an industrial (non-broadcast videos, usually for private company use).
The main ones I cared about were the 2 commercials. One of them was having callbacks on Monday and one on Wednesday. They usually inform you the day before, so I knew if I didn't hear anything by Tuesday, I didn't get a callback.
Tuesday came and left. And I had 0 calls from my agency about any of my auditions.
Then yesterday I got the call. I had a callback for one of the commercials for today! I guess they moved the callback date.
While at the callback, I was one of the only 2 "ethnic" girls there (out of the 20+ people I saw) and I'm pretty sure I was the shortest (I'm 5'5). They were looking for young, hipster people so everyone there was model gorgeous and tall. I felt kind of out of place but it was a fun callback. No matter what happens I was happy just to get called back. We will see what happens!
Meanwhile, I've been getting text messages and Facebook messages that my 365 episode is now airing on the Disney Channel (thanks everyone for letting me know!). If you haven't seen it yet, check it out here:

Updates soon and please leave a comment if you're reading my blog! I'll try to update regularly but only if there seems to be interest :)
Diane, congrats on three six five, you did such a good job. It can't be easy to keep up that high energy. But it looked like you were having a blast up there, it must have been such a rush. Sorry, the callbacks aren't going as planned. I'm glad you're not getting discouraged.
ReplyDeleteJovie!! I'm so excited for everything you're doing! And it's especially exciting to get to see your work... I can't wait till I turn on Disney channel and you pop up! Although seeing it online was pretty awesome too. You're doing great... and keeping busy it seems! I'm terribly proud of you. :-)
