I started auditioning but at times would feel depressed, as I would get shortlisted but never received the final call. Only when the commercials were released would I come to know that I was not selected.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes you walk out of an audition and you kind of know you nailed it and you're probably going to book it, but you very rarely are told in the room by the people who are hiring you.
The audition process is always grueling. You always hope to just get offered things, and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.
My first audition was an open call and I had no picture and no resume - that's how clueless I was. I just thought I could show up.
My first audition was for a commercial for the lottery. I didn't get it, so I hate the lottery.
I found out that you could audition by sending a picture of yourself and some information to Newsround.
Many's the audition I waltzed into unprepared and wondered why I didn't get it. I learned the hard way.
I'm afraid that I won't do a good job when I go into an audition.
You could give the best audition ever and not get the role or not get a callback because you just weren't what they were looking for.
For the longest time, I was auditioning, getting called back, and I had a long string of things not going my way. I thought, 'Maybe this is never going happen. Maybe I'll never book a commercial.'
When you go to an audition, don't hang on to it because no matter how well you feel it went or how badly, you just never know what the outcome is going to be.
