I wish I got samples at these audishes

More yummy audishes!! This must be back to fast food season.

Thursday it was a spot for my fav Frosty provider. This one was actually pretty funny. Starts out with a girl on a date who orders salad...with dressing...with bacon...with a burger..."you know, like a garnish."

Today I spent my lunch getting to and from a production studio, all so that I could say: "Hi, Steve." Thanks alot, StoveTummys. You make my favorite lunch cookie, oatmeal choco chip, and I was pumped to talk about your sammiches.

Oh well, at least I got a bus back to the office & saved some cab fare.

McAudish

Another two-in-one audish today, my favs. This time both for the same McRestaurant. The first spot I read three times before it clicked, and the second was a one take audish. Apparently it is easier for me to be 'upbeat and kind of sly' than it is to be 'relaxed and enlightened.'

I want to stay skinny but I'm sooo hungry

2 VO readings today, 2 different spots and advertisers, both valley girl style. Products:
1. Garlic Mashed Potatoes
2. Stromboli from a pizza chain

One description: Not too bright, but knows what's hot.
Yes, she totally knows stromboli is so hot right now.
mmm, yummy......

"Please come dressed appropriately with a headshot and resume, which includes your contact information. " This is a duhsies that applies to every audish... although as we talked about a few posts back, they probably mean biz casual, not hot pants & tank tops.

A special inside note on the harold audish- if it is the same as it has been in the past, your group will do a harold piece that makes it to the second game if you are lucky. I have a special place in my heart for the harold audish as that is how my team came together. Six of us has gotten the same time, practiced harolds, and approached the audition as a matinee show. We showed up to find 2 random people added to our time slot. After quick introductions, we had a great audish. There are things from that 'matinee' that I can clearly recall as best moments ever. Eventually we were put on the schedule and have been together for about a year. The first 6 were people who had not been put on a team right out of classes, and the other 2 had been cut from the schedule before.

It has been said about this business before in different forms, and I really believe this is true: preparation + luck + persistence = success.
