So I booked that commercial… :) Here’s some photos from the shoot, and yes, I know I look hot in this outfit. The entire thing was motion capture, so "I" will not appear in it#–just my actions. No voice, no figure, etc. But the character being animated? All me…

So I heard back about the commercial I’m on hold for… they accidentally erased the audition tape, and they needed to show the producers their final selection for actors. What does that mean? An unexpected callback!

My manager called me just before closing (of course, it always happens that way#–not their fault, but the client always has these kinds of disasters late in the day) and told me that I would need to be at another audition the following morning at 11:55AM. Audition times are always exact like that. But they rarely run on time. When you get an audition on a "five" (11:35, 12:55), you can count on it being even further behind. I’m not sure why this is, but it’s almost a universal truth.

So if you’ve been following my blog for any time, you’re probably wondering: "why doesn’t he post more often?" And to you, I say: "why don’t you comment more often?"

I’ve been spending my time of late working on a couple of things, most notably representation (someone to send me on more auditions) and commercial auditioning (through said representation). Last week I started working with a manager here in New York (Ingrid French Management) and have been freelancing with commercial agents for a few months. In New York, you can work with multiple agencies#–in LA and in most other markets, this is a major no-no. I have a great agent in St. Louis (Diane at Talent-Plus), but it’s hard to get auditions in one market through an agent in another. That’s just the way things work.
