as in it’s still freaking hot outside. i’m craving the cold. you know, like one of those wonderfully crisp nights where the perfect nesting temp can only be created with the help of a lover. meow…
BUT, fall is great for other things, such as a busier commercial world. i’ve been auditioning more and booked a national spot for American Family Insurance. sweet. AND, i’m on avail for a Sprite commercial starring Jay Chou. rad rad. keep your fingers crossed for me.
also great, but annoying is Halloween. this year i decided i would milk every last drop out of the skeleton hoodie i bought for the BaO video and wore it for Dia De Los Muertos and Halloween. made this season so much more enjoyable because i didn’t have to come up with some stupid shit costume. not to mention it is the most comfortable thing EVER — the total antithesis to all the skimpy outfits that hot bitches (and not so hot ones) all over our country don on this day. anyhow, some photos:

if you watched my nerdy video blog here, then you heard me explain that for commercial auditions you’re given descriptions for “wardrobe,” which is how you’re supposed to dress for your character. for my US Bank callback yesterday the role was for “couple buying movie tickets” and the wardrobe was “hip casual.” sometimes the wardrobe description gets a little outta control in an attempt to get people looking a certain way. the funniest one i’ve gotten was something like “trendy, hip, sexy, cool…but not slutty.” hilarious that someone in either the ad company or casting made it a point to add “but not slutty,” and every actress called in was given the “don’t be slutty” memo by their agent. does this mean i can try to be slutty for every other audition? yesssssss…
my second audition yesterday was just “casual” so i replaced the shoes above (Vivienne Westwood Anglomania) with some Frye’s woven leather flats. i had to take the “hip” out of the equation (more or less). you should always consider who the client is as well. for my second “casual” audition, the client was KFC, so i knew right away that they wanted a super approachable, lifestyle kind of “casual.” always let your personality shine through of course.
my kohl’s audition and callback the other day asked for “fashionable, hip, casual, well put together, body conscious.” body conscious means they want to see your figure, which means don’t wear baggy, loose clothing. you have to wear something that is form fitting, but usually NOT SLUTTY either haha. i wore the outfit in this post here. my performance and the outfit was enough to get the callback, but i don’t think i’m ultimately the type they want for a client like kohl’s (we’ll see). an ad for kohl’s after Thanksgiving Sale is targeting suburban housewives. they’ll probably want all american but very attractive, and i’m not sure i fall into that category. for any actors out there, never let ANYTHING discourage you. there are just too many factors involved when people are casting parts. be yourself and you’ll book the right gigs for your type.
good to know: if your audition is for a client like Bud Light, or Captain Morgan’s and it says “body conscious,” then you can probably be a little slutty. you know, just fyi.
