Out of the blue

As opening night of the show is coming up I was making sure what few industry people I know, knew about it. When I was looking up addresses, etc - it occurred to me that I didn't have contact info for the person I met at a recent Commercial Workshop. Hmmmm...

Then something unpredictable happened - the person from the Commercial Workshop called me up! She wanted to know if I could come in and read for a national radio commercial! Well, of course I can! I couldn't believe the timing.

So I took an early lunch to go the audition and found out it was for a Big Lots ad. Which made me even more excited - if I got it, people I know back in NE might actually be able to hear it! :) It was a fun ad, too. I sat and studied the script thinking of different ways to say it and when it was finally my turn I went in the audition room and was recorded reading it twice. She asked me about my Southern Accent that I had listed on my resume - is it natural? Apparently if it had been, she wanted me to use it with full force but instead I just used my Midwest Accent. ;) If I actually book it, I'll record it next week. If don't, I hope she still calls me in for future projects!
