Also I'm really not expecting to get casted, I mostly just wanna see with my own eyes how is it like to audition (for something I'm writing), but if i do get casted that's a bonus. Edit: I'll still do my best, cuz I don't wanna make a fool of myself.

+Adi Globus I really hope you'll read this article: www.holdonlog.com/articles/can-your-feelings-get-in-the-way-of-your-performing-business It pretty much sums up my feeling on this matter. But then of course, I'm sure there's more I could expand on. Long story short. It's all a BUSINESS. It's a business for your agents, managers, the producers, the studio, etc. I'm sure your agents who work their butts off getting you auditions don't think of this as a hobby. Having a plan for your auditions is essential. I never stress about my auditions b/c I have a plan. I'll share one more link with you exactly on this that I am actually the co-host of www.AuditionGamePlan.com. It's extensive, real-world, roll up your sleeves sort of thing. If you don't do this, you may end up auditioning forever instead of direct booking. That's the career I want! :)

+Adi Globus Well I'm not sure you read the article or watched the video. I hope you will. So, we'll have to 'agree to disagree'. I certainly have not been dedicated to my career since my early 20's, produced commercials, live events and shows, taken classes, paid for union membership, moved to Florida, NYC and Los Angeles, paid for marketing materials, plus all the TIME invested in my career-- all just for the art. If I did I wouldn't be able to afford my car, my bills, my lifestyle, etc. I wish you the best and hope you'll take heed to my advice. I wish you all the best in living off your art and certainly hope your agents aren't reading this b/c believe me they aren't in this for the ART, they are in this for 'The Business" aka Show Business and Show Business pays for their office, their kids to go to college and a bizillion other things. Money and Success are not bad things Adi. Don't ever hate the money it's how the Industry survives.
