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.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went to a few really bad commercial auditions because I needed the money, and when you booked a commercial, your life was made: you could eat.
My first audition was for a commercial for the lottery. I didn't get it, so I hate the lottery.
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.
I know this may come as a shock to most of you, but I've decided to quit acting. I will not be auditioning for anything anymore, and if I get offered something like a role in a movie or a commercial or something, I will graciously turn it down. It's been great, but its just not for me anymore.
I vowed I would never do a commercial, or a soap opera - both of which I did as soon as I left the Acting Company and was starving.
Just go and keep auditioning and keep trying and keep believing things will turn around, and it always does.
I remember saying in college that I would never do commercials.
I've never been one to book a ton of commercials.
When I was two and a half or three, my mom got a call from someone asking if wanted to go on an audition. I ended up getting the job; it was a commercial for Hasbro. It was my first audition and first commercial. I just had to smile and laugh and dance around.
I remember thinking, 'I'll audition just once and if it doesn't work out I'll never think about it ever again.'
