Group auditions. They are a pain. I always feel like everyone else is in on how to do it and I'm not. In this case I was older by double than everyone in the room. And I felt it. And I don't wanna come off as a creep by flirting with the 21 year olds, but, thank you, sweetie, please don't stand directly in front of me.
Anyway, we're supposed to react to something and I'm thinking, "not too big" and sure enough at that very moment, Bam, I overreact like its 1988.
If I get a callback on this it will be because of a look only.
Update: Jan 20th. Yep. Got a call back. I go in tomorrow. This is tremendous only inasmuch as it keeps my callback ratio for on-camera commercials high. As of this year it's 50%. If I go by the last 12 months, it's more like 25%. If I go by the last 6 months, that number drops to, like, 15%.
It's a good way to start the year.
Update: Jan 21st. Waited over an hour to get in. Was one of the last they saw. And they saw over 140 people on just the call back. The good news is they are casting at least 7 different types and I was the only one I ever saw in a suit. At both auditions. I'm pretty solid with reaction stuff. And I wasn't over the top. So, I have as good a shot as anyone.
