 Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2012 11:08 am Post subject: I Auditioned for a Job and Didn't Get It |
 |
|
A week ago I received a request to submit an audition to play a character in a TV commercial for a local bank. Since I haven't heard back, I'll assume I didn't get the part, although it's only been a week, so maybe they haven't made the decision yet.
However, this morning I got an e-mail from the same studio with a script, a request for two or three takes, and a note telling me how much the gig pays. No audition this time, just the job. Somehow, things do manage to work themselves out.

Same sort of thing has happened to me. Lose an audition, but then some ways down the road, get handed a completely different job on the strength of the other audition. Which just makes you think that when someone says that they liked you, but you weren't quite right for this job (or the client wasn't happy) and they'll keep in mind.... They're not always blowin' smoke.
Well done Lee.

Sowing those seeds all of the place does result in a harvest.
Nice Lee!

Congratulations, Lee!
You might like this story about auditions: http://pinterest.com/pin/150448443773005947/
They obviously heard something in your audition that impressed them. You never know, maybe they wrote the new script with you in mind.

I'm quite sure they did not write the script with me in mind. However, I did wish the studio owner a Happy Birthday on Facebook.
