"Secret Girlfriend" - Mandy Sherman & Sari Knight, CSAs. An AFTRA Episodic for Comedy Central. The waiting room was filled with all types of character looks. Once inside it was a quick do your thing and out again.

What's New Cupcake - It was a huge success and $3000 was raised for charity. Got to see a bunch Casting Directors I've not seen in a bit and touch base. Also so my agent, Samantha there and we chatted. Lots of fun.

Wardrobe Fitting at 10AM and an audition at 11:15AM. Called my agents and let them know that if the wardrobe fitting were to go long I would miss it. At first I was told it was only going until 11:30AM.

On the day of, wardrobe was fitting 14 people at once and needed us all to stay so that they could see us all together in one shot. It ended up being a 4 hour wardrobe fitting. Called my agents and told them I wouldn't be able to make it.

Leah took the call and told me she'd let me know if they were running late. I got a message a little later saying that they were going until 5:30PM and that I should just go when I was done and she'd confirm with me. There was a lot of back and forth with Leah. She's great as is everyone at KSR and that's why I love them. There was no attitude and they worked really hard to work around the wardrobe fitting and get in to the audition.

FedEx - Deborah Kurtz, Casting Director. Went in and let them know I was there after a wardrobe fitting. The camera operator gave me a little attitude but told me to come in and audition. It went well.

T-Mobile - Gabrielle Schary Casting Director. This shoots in Vancouver. Would LOVE to travel there. Growing up in the Midwest, trips to Canada were the norm and I love that country and have never been to Vancouver. Headed out to the audition in about 10 minutes.

Okay, just got back from the audition but had to sign a very detailed confidentiality contract. So...mum's the word.

Plus, got a call from Comcast production for a re-fitting tomorrow.

Got a call from my Leah from KSR yesterday. On hard avail for the Comcast commercial. Then just got a call not 15 minutes ago from Alicia - one of the main agents, and I've been booked! Yay!!!! Hope everything works well and the commercial goes, and I'm in it because even when you book anything can happen.

The best part is that my Agents finally get some income for all the awesome work they've been doing for me. It feels good to give them something because they've been so loyal through all the avails and releases and call backs with no bookings.

Just bouncing up and down right now. Can't stop.

Comcast call back - Alyson Horn Casting. Surprised I was called back for this since I remember having an off day for the actual audition. The call back went well though and it felt good to be able to act the way I'd wanted to the first time around. Things went much smoother this time around.

I was there only actor there for about 30 minutes. But these were one person in the room auditions and one person in the room call backs. Part of you feels good about that and part of you worries you're in the wrong place. It's odd how my body relaxed so much more the moment another actor walked in the door.

Callback Home Depot-Skirts Casting. They started a half hour late but once you got in it was pretty quick. A slate and then paint the wall and that was it. I kind of got into painting the wall since they let me go for a little bit so when they said "Okay, thank you" there was an inner startle. I just think the action of painting is therapeutic. A painless callback.

Audition for Home Depot - Skirts Casting. The audition was yesterday and it was one of those ask a question things. It went well enough that my agent called me today with a callback for tomorrow. Yay!

Also had a sit down with my Manager yesterday and we went over my goals, how he submits me, what is going on in the business and his office, and my photos. It felt really good. We got a lot accomplished and I love that my Manager really gets me. It makes me want to work that much harder for him to get him paid for all the work he does.

Audition for In-Conceivable webisode pilot. Tige Charity, Casting Director. Ran into another old friend and caught up afterwards. The audition went well and was actually very synchronic.

Web media and various people and things have been popping up in my life regarding web media and webisodes lately. I was just thinking how cool it'd be to do a good one and how I'd really like to work on one when my manager called with this audition. The audition itself had some nice moments and I believe it went well.

Sears - Ross Lacy Casting. This is the most fun I've had at a commercial audition in a long time. An old friend of mine was in the room auditioning too and the whole group was very talented and easygoing. Great session runner too. Preparing now for my theatrical audition tomorrow.

Audition Comcast Business - Alyson Horn Casting. Definitely could have done better. Am having an off day. Ophff. Next time.
