When we last checked in I had never made it to the ever loving CALL BACK!
Well I am happy to report I have finally been called back. Here is kind of how it all went down. On a Tuesday I did an audition for Sizzler. I know right Sizzler. It was fine, it went like all the other ones. There was nothing more magical about this audition than any other one I did. Except I was having an AMAZING hair day. A hair day you just can’t fake. One of those hair days that you wake up looking like you were born, live, and die to be good looking.
To set the scene I am playing a Mom (because yet again this is the only thing anyone can see me as) with two 10 year old children (WTF) and my bumbling husband who eats ribs very sloppy. But as I was directed by still love each other. OK 10 seconds to get that all in and GO! Oh yeah, and yummy yummy ribs. Ok now go.
I actually know the guy I am auditioning with. We met at a workshop that we took on how to learn to find Corporate Sponsorship that I would recommend. Well he says to me “So Angie how do I know you?” and I say from CIC and he says (no shit he really said this) “Oh wow, you look so pretty, last time I saw you you looked so angry with your hair pulled back and all”
I said “um, thanks”
Flash forward to the following Monday. I get a call from my Agent at around 4pm. She is a little panicky. It is obvious she just got the call and is worried about getting a hold of me in time. She spouts out “I have an audition for you tomorrow for Sizzler”, I said I already did Sizzler last week. Her excitement starts to build “Oh shit I think its a callback. Let me call you back” not even 10 seconds later she calls me back “Its a callback, oh I am so happy” my agent says.
I felt like my mother finally told me she was proud of me. I just kept saying over and over kind of flustered. Oh a callback, I got a callback. Oh this is great a callback. How lovely I was called back.
Well needless to say my hair was in no way shape or form as amazing as it was the day of audition. I did my best but it wasn’t even close. You just can’t make that magic up when it happens. But my Corporate Workshop friend was late (he and I were called back together) cause of the Immigration Parade. So instead they pair me with the HOTTEST GUY in the entire world.
All I could think was. WOW me and this guy had make belive sex at least twice cause we got two kids. Giggle Giggle. I was so flustered I was suppose to deliver my kind of angry line to hubby about being a slob. Instead I turn with my best commercial fury and HAND TO GOD I GIGGLE! I Giggle like a school girl at my crazy hot husband.
I had a teacher at Columbia College who once said she couldn’t lie because she was an actor. I didn’t understand that idea. Cause at the time I had no problem lying. But you just can’t fake emotions like this.
Sigh, they are to shoot the commercial on Wednesday and/or Thursday. I am to assume I would have heard by now.
I guess it is back to the make em ups for the summer.
