the Horrorfest audition and skinny actors

Oh yeah, I had a couple of doozies last week. First of all, I was able to audition for a big-time casting director who is booking Miss Horrorfest III for the After Dark Films. I knew I wasn't the madam of darkness or next of kin to the devil, so I decided to take the opportunity and try something a little different. He obviously saw something in my headshot and/or resume to call miss All-American in (that would be me). I took the Sigourney Weaver, Alien hunter/killer approach and added my own touch of comedy with my 8-year-old's Nerf guns...it so seemed funny as I was rehearsing...don't think they got it - crickets in the room kind-of-thing...lots of scary and beautiful divas at that one, oh well, one never knows... then, on to a Chapman University audition in which I completely misinterpreted the script and had to un-prepare and re-group within seconds- for the camera. Probably not my best take...at least the casting crew was very polite. Once, again, one never knows...and, finally, the listing for a gorgeous 35-40 Caucasian female, 5'7-5'10 and 115-120 pounds. YES. An Amazon-tall woman weighing less than me. Nothing like feeling a bit insecure. That weight and height requirement listing would probably make me obese by their standards! Gotta love it. And, don't you dare respond with your measurements if they match that listing!

New podcast in the works...
