You Never Know What to Expect

You never know what to expect at a commercial audition. I brought a prop to an audition a while back, which was clever of me. But they had a prop for me, so I didn’t actually feel very clever.

After I said my last line, the director said, “You don’t say that line yet.” I knew this, but didn’t say so, so as not to appear defensive. Not saying that I knew, I fear I appeared inept. I spoke that last line early because, although there were actors representing various characters in the scene, there were lines for an announcer as well. Because we didn’t have an announcer, I simply skipped to my next spoken line, my last line.

Maybe I think too much.
