Before I go off into my story, I feel that everyone needs some background first. My agent almost never calls me. If I don't confirm an audition within an hour, my agency will have the receptionist or interns call me with information about the audition. But my agent herself won't call me, unless it's good news.
So yesterday around 5 (which is late) I get a call from my agent. I answer thinking it's about a paycheck I can come pick up for the job I filmed a couple of weeks ago or maybe an audition for tomorrow. Nope. She says I'm on avail for Sony! Whoo! I'm always happy to hear I'm on avail. But here comes the weird part: she said I must have filmed for them in the past and they called to see my schedule for next week. Wait, what? I've never filmed for Sony. In fact, I don't even know what audition they're talking about, as I've auditioned for 3 different Sony projects in the past few weeks. Plus I don't think any of my auditions went particularly well and I didn't go to callbacks for any of them. And I start to think they may have had the wrong girl...
So I ask my agent and she says not to worry about it. Just keep my days clear.
So they're open! I have no idea whether to celebrate or not. If I'm released from the avail, I don't think I'll be too disappointment, as I'm still so confused. What?? However, wouldn't it be awesome if I booked this project I have no idea about?
Fingers crossed with one hand and a confused head scratch with the other.

Audition prep
I'm rather frustrated.
I don't know whether it's my long day of work or my past history of theatrical auditions or what, but I'm so frustrated with this audition tomorrow.
I want it SO badly. So so badly. I'm praying and having everyone around me pray for me. I went to private coaching and paid $100 for one hour of help for 4 pages. That's $25 a page of help. With maybe 6 or 7 lines per page.
I've been practicing like crazy every spare moment I can. But for whatever reason I can't get this character. It's not making sense...the puzzle pieces are getting to the right place, but aren't "fitting" yet. I don't know how to describe it. It's just not where I want it to be yet. I'm not this character yet.
Time is ticking. I have less than 24 hours before this audition.
Lord please help me.
