So, over the last couple of days I have completed three different castings. While this is obviously great, part of me wishes they wouldn’t – like the proverbial omnibus – all turn up at the same time!
On Monday, I was up for a teacher in an educational video so headed into town for the casting before rushing home to put together a self-tape for a feature film playing a mechanic (this I achieved using various parts taken out of our car and a tool I found in the cellar which had a really nice ‘ratchety’ sound). No sooner had I submitted it, I got the call that the following day I was up for a dentist in a toothpaste commercial.
As I said I am not complaining and it is fantastic that I am being seen for things. In fact, not having too much time to think may have helped – I subsequently found out that I landed the role of the mechanic (clearly ‘blue-collar workers’ are my forte – who knew!)
So, as of the autumn I may have a credit I can put on IMDB!
