Day 145 - Auditions


Wow there is a lot of time left with this project huh? Let me just recap where I am at.

I started this whole thing thinking it would be easy to find people who were as eager as I to make it big in the biz. Well this hasn’t exactly been disproved but I will tell you that the only real person you can rely on in this world is really yourself. Everyone else has to look out for themselves and won’t always be there for you. I am not being negative, just realistic. I am not frustrated by this, I am just now more informed.

I guess that is why I have been writing here less and less, simply because it is difficult to do video blogs, or maybe I should say, difficult to do good ones. If I wanted I could just use my webcam, but the quality of video and sounds lacks. Since Marica started working full time it is hard for her, and I feel bad that she doesn’t have more time to work towards some of her dream goals.

I guess that is a problem with life, there just isn’t enough time or resources for everyone to do what they want. I think everyone has to find a happy ground in which they can live day to day without regrets.

I have had some auditions lately. My agent Dylan is pretty cool. I think I am improving my audition skills. You know, you may be a good actor and such, but to get a job you need an audition skill set. It is different. It is hard to get into the moment as the person you are reading with will never be in character and you will find it difficult to feed off them. There is also the problems with memorization. Often times, audition sides are given the night before and you won’t have time to learn them all. So reading during the audition while at the same time allowing the casting agent to see your face can be tough.

Hopefully I can make some headway with these auditions in the coming months.

I truly agree, its one thing to have the idea and another whole thing to get things accomplished. In the end its a real battle to get something that you would like to achieve. But hey, that’s part of the fun right? If everything was so easy then we wouldn’t be driven in life.
