It was a 5-hour drive (each way) for me, but I
always like auditioning at Donna Belajac Casting. Donna is always wonderful with actors
and even though I could have shot and E-mailed in the audition, when I have the
chance to audition with Donna I will make the long drive, because she always gives me information that makes my audition stronger.
My role was for a seminar presenter in a scene with Anne Hathaway, Jake Gyllenhaal and a number of other people who were
attending my seminar. I had a good sense of what this character was all about and who I was talking to in the scene. I
thought the audition went really well. I have learned over the years that quite often there is little correlation between doing
a great audition and booking a job. There are so many factors that go into getting and not getting the part, that my number
one goal for every audition is not booking the job. Instead my goals are:
1. To enjoy myself.
So a few days after the audition I get a call from my agent saying I have a call back. Now I will be reading for the director
of the film, Edward Zwick. I am excited about getting a chance to read for Mr. Zwick. I am ready, have my
lines memorized, blocked out the day for travel, and the night before the call back, I get a call from the
agent saying that my part was cut from the script, so there will be no call back.
That was too bad, but as I said earlier, there really are so many factors that go into booking a job, that you
have to really keep your emotions in check until after you have actually been cast and shoot your scene.
