Right now I am focusing my attention on auditioning for the NY based soaps. I’m not going to stop doing other things, but I’m really trying to break into the medium. I’m going to be doing background on One Life to Live (the first step in getting a speaking role) next week. Today I interviewed with Darlene Failla and her associate Jill for Guiding Light, and tonight I am auditioning for Kate Martineau of As the World Turns. (EDIT: Audition rescheduled for June 2nd) If you have ever tried to keep track of the happenings on even one soap, you know how intricate and complicated the plots can be. Now try getting up to date on half a dozen. Yeah…riiiiiight…
Darlene was awesome, outlining the intense work routine of GL and answering a lot of questions I had about how things work behind the scenes. I’ve taken a class from Rob Decina, another casting director, but he didn’t really get into the mechanics of it all. I have a lot of respect for the performers and technicians that clomp through a daily schedule like the one Darlene described!
In other news: holy crap do I want to be a part of this project. Seriously. I would kill to play Hot Rod or Rodimus Prime. Seriously. Kill.
I’M BACK FROM FRANCE! Just thought I’d let ya know!
… more than meets the eye!
