We got a callback and could we come in Saturday to audition again for the actual directors? Yes!!! (First audition account in this post ).
Saturday came and we loaded the van wearing the same exact outfits with our swim suits underneath, but I felt none of the calm assurance I had for the first one. The whole, enjoy yourself motto wasn't working for me this time. My bathing suit didn't seem to fit as well, my hair wouldn't do right and anything else I could feel self-concious about played it's part . All confidence went out the window.
Arriving at the agency, I couldn't help but notice the amount of cars parked outside that represented the other families auditioning. Gulp.We check in and wait.
A family exits the auditioning room, their youngest boy featuring crocodile tears and a quivering lip. Older brothers verbally jab at one another over who messed up what, while mom and dad tried to quietly reign them all in.
Oh boy. I think we are next.
The casting director steps out to give the rest of us a pep talk.
"Folks, remember this is your big shot! The director and producers are in there! Be excited, animated and energetic - and NO crying".
