LA Audition

I recently had a great opportunity to fly to Los Angeles for a film audition. It was for a role I submitted for online a few months ago. I was very honored when they contacted me, as these kinds of auditions are very difficult to get, especially without an agent. But, I assumed that I was going to have to decline the audition, because of the time and money needed to go to LA. However, after discussing it with my extremely awesome and supportive wife, she convinced me that I needed to jump on this! This was my first audition for a speaking role in a major film, and she did not want me to miss it.

Luckily, Heather's dad works for US Airways,so they were able to get me a super cheap plane ticket. And to make things even easier, our friend Allyson was visiting us at the time. Her family lives in the LA area, and she worked it for me to stay with them. They also drove me to and from the airport and took me to the audition (and to In-N-Out Burger!) It was a huge help to us financially, and it was amazing to not have to rent a car while I was there. Between all the good fortune I was having, I agreed with Heather. I needed to give this a shot.

The film is called IN SECURITY. There are a few name actors attached to it. No one too famous, but some people I'm familiar with. It seems like a nice little role, and it would be a huge opportunity for me, if I'm fortunate enough to get cast in it. As far as how the actually audition actually went, it's always hard to tell. But I felt good about it, so there's nothing else I can do about it now. Just hope for the best, keep looking for the next gig!
