Callback for Bud Light - Joe Blake Casting

The team in the room were re-working the copy as we auditioned for them. It was a lot of fun because they'd throw the line and the spontaneity of it allowed me to use the improv skills I've been honing at Improv Olympic. Some of the lines they threw out were really, really funny. It's nice when you're in a callback and you can't help laughing because the copy is so humorous.

Audition for US Bank - POP Casting

One of the few auditions left where they did the old standard of taking headshots and size cards. In the waiting room I saw a few acquaintences I hadn't seen in years. We didn't really talk though because the bathroom toilet was getting fixed and this loud motor thing was going so no one could hear each other.

The spot was one of those MOS (without sound) where you motivate with thought.
