The audition was for James Otto. I haven't heard of this guy yet, but in Nashville, that's not shocking. I was to play a "hairdresser". Now, both my mother and sister are hairdressers by trade and I don't see anything exciting about how they dress so I assume they mean the "caricature" of one. I dressed up sort of "Steel Magnolias" meets Flo from Mel's Diner. Whatever!
There was no script so it was sort of a free for all. 3 of us at a time went in and first were told to pretend a cell phone was a remote and the camera was a tv and we were fighting, trying to get it to work. Then, one of us played a woman whose hair was ruined by another salon and she was asking the other 2 for help. They had to convince her it would be fine!! That's it. And, go!
You always try to lead because otherwise, some schmo will take over, mess it up and there's no way to save it. BUT, you also don't want to be yelling over each other with everyone trying to drive. This was somewhere in between. One woman was a little over the top and they did ask her to chill a bit. The Directors were there, which almost never happens. So, it took awhile longer than usual. But, they must know what they are looking for. Right?
Not usually..
We'll see, won't we?
