PP woman here. The audition was remarkable.. sooo many women ..one lead role. We chatted and had fun waiting.. clearly they were not sure what they wanted as there were women of all ages, sizes and hair colors. And in various states of mental stability. Wow, the general public can be scary. I sat with PAt a 72 year old smoking voiced, bowling, firecracker who would not appreciate me saying her age since she lies about it to the people she auditions for.. I'm told I need to do the same thing. Not a bad idea now. She was a hoot and we had a great time joking around. We saw some medical miracles walk by us to audition.. We saw realy bad wigs and facial surgeries and a couple of huge boob jobs. DID i mention she was a wicked firecracker of a lady.. what a blast! I also saw two of the guys from the first time I worked with these folks and they remembered me right off the bat and I didn't have to show said panties to remind them.. That's a good sign. After a good hour of kibitzing in the hall I was called into the audition. Ok this marks the strangest but coolest audition ever for me. There is no script as we are completely overdubbed for the show anyway. They give you an approximate line to say .
So this means it's all oral....Ok I SUCK at remembering orally I have a photographic memory so as easy as it sounds I was a bit nervous. There was no need . i remembered my lines and didthe scene with the guy I knew from the last time. and it was straight forward and short. THEN he said look at the camera. O why not... My next challenge was to give them facial expressions....one right after the other... he said ok ANGRY....now HAPPY ...now SAD...Now SHOCKED! And that my friends, was that. he went so fast I dont think I ever had to switch emotions that fast before.. and I was trying to be a good little actress and evoke honestly. HA
What a circus! BUT I got the call this morning thinking they would offer me an extra role which is what i submitted for in the first place and To my utter SHOCK (cue camera) I got THe LEAD... now to google MS Angie Paquette. Hmmm more to come...Oy Vey
