Seasons of Audishes

Back to school sales on office supplies abound, and it's time to get busy and audish for some fall shows.

Lots of auditions posted on CIN and on Chicago Plays !

Improv Road Shows

I was just in glorious Pittsburgh, PA for two college improv shows over three days. The fun times included a great show, tax free clothes shopping, and a show that turned into a workshop. And it was all made possible by our GPS directional device. Seriously, Pittsburgh is a curvy city. Those Allegheny foothills make for some beautiful scenery but they are tricky to navigate on a dark and stormy night.

Audish of the Day

Wow, if I was a singer or dancer with real training I would totes sign up for this:

AuDish of the Day

Here's something that drives me crazy: "performance artists" whose art is painting themselves in a metallic fashion and acting as if they are a statue. It just creeps me out! OMG it freaks me out. But if you happen to be a "performance artist" then this audish might be for you:

Human Statue needed for our trade show exhibit ....

I can't even google image search this one for you.

Youth is wasted on the young

Last night after I left my office job I had quick audish since the agency is open until 5:30. I had gotten a call that I needed to read something that afternoon or this morning, and I was able to get in yesterday. It was a public service announcement and my part was that of a teen going to a party... you can guess the rest. It's always fun to read young parts :)

Then I got a call from a friend and ended up sitting in with a great show at iO that needed another player- Felt - an improvised puppet show. A. It's so much fun everytime I get to join them; B. It feels like voiceover since we are we working through puppets.

Awesome Wednesday!

Insurance?

Today I had an audish that used the video from a tv spot that currently airs. From what I can remember of the ad, I think the copy was different. I had to listen to it and then try to match it- that's a new one. It took me three takes. Yea, I'm there.

Double Audish

What a week. I had an audish Wednesday and when I got there found out it was a double audish. And now I have another audish Friday. Sometimes I think this whole industry is like a really bad boyfriend. It doesn't call for weeks and then you get flowers, dinner, and chocolates. So you forgive it and then it forgets about you again. Just a subtle way to explain the lack of posts :) Anywho...

First up: a dialogue that I read with another gal. It was for a state lottery. It took off on the concept of sharing things at a barbecue and ended at sharing boyfriends. A little too weird and awkward for a lottery spot in my opinion....but what do I know?

Second: Shoes! We're talking BOGO ladies!
