I'm a little taken aback. Had a call this morning from Look Talent to come in to meet.
That clears all the clouds from my head. I was feeling sort of down about myself.
I like to do the game on my own terms. That's a hard way to live.
Sure, I've been able to eek out a living all these years but there are places it's so much easier to just do what people tell you and not do it your own way.
I used my resources for getting an agent. I spent hours going over my resume and the format. I sent it to Elle, (my son's girlfriend that works in a talent agency) to critique. I did exactly what she told me. No judgment, just do what she said.
Now, Look wants to see me. She said prepare a monologue.
I've been working on my monologue for a few days getting it memorized. Now it's time to work on it back and forth and side to side. Do all the actor stuff. Backstory, intentions, beats. I tend to be a lazy actor because I have a lot of stage time and I'm "charming" on stage. It's what I hear a lot. I've got a little boys sensibilities. So, I'm likable.
Which is great for TV commercials.
The rest of the game, I just have to do no questions...
I need new photos. There are all these places you publish your photos, resume, special skills. I have never bought into it too much. If they need a mime, I figure they'll call.
Here's the thing. I really like performing. More than that, I need to perform, it's what keeps me going and fighting my internal demons. Auditions are little performances. I get that little high of a performance.
This is exciting. I've had a commercial agent for 15 plus years. Now it's time to take it seriously.
