I was hoping that I would have the opportunity to go kick it in Riverside today with my freshmen hallmates who I consider my extended family...but I realized I needed to do some heavy studying for this upcoming week. I also had an audition.
Callback for Bill and Melinda Gates foundation PSA- Wow! I've never had an audition like this in my life- It was great because it went on for about 3.5 hours and they kept bringing us back in to audition with different partners.
I got to use my poetry skills to recite and feel the words as I meshed with my partners.
Finally at 2:30- The casting director pulled me aside and told me that I could go home. Not because I was being cut- but because she believed that I had some raw talent and the only issue was finding a dad...a black dad...to play my father. Originally the spot was supposed to be with a Latino student named Jose- but I'm not Latino and I'm not too sure if I could pass for Jose or have a Latino father.
So they said they will contact me regarding what will be done. Looking forward to it! This seems like a great opportunity- I actually applied for a Gates Foundation scholarship when I was in high school- never got it...Maybe it's time to reconcile that with a booking? Yes!
