Auditions

This week I had a few interesting experiences.  I auditioned for Tokyo Disneyland Resort, and I'm a proud to say that I didn't get in!  As my teachers say, "Rejection is your friend." and I have come to take that saying to heart.  Disney is very particular about what they want, and if you don't fit the part perfectly you are o-u-t.  Also its very hard to break into their performing jobs because they tend to use the same people over and over again (Disney is notorious for being cheap like that), so I figure there is something else out there for me.  I recently got onto a casting site that can help you submit for auditions, and I get to be on Deal or No Deal on Tuesday!  They were looking for cute girls to sit in the audience and I got hired!  Woo!  I get paid like a hundred bucks per show and all I have to do is look good. 

 What I really need though is an Agent or Manager.  They can get you good auditions and help you build relationships with Directors, Casting Directors, and Studios.  I'm still trying to get my headshots in order so I can start mailing, but man it is expensive!  You have a 25$ lay out fee, then any retouching is 35$ (Luckily I don't), and then on top of that its like over a hundred dollars to get 100 prints!  Then I have to purchase the post cards which are 55$ for 100, including all of the other fees.  I'm trying to find a less expensive place that will give me a discount.  It is expensive to be an actress.  On top of that I need to get my hair done!  My teachers are hounding us about looking our best because we are the product we're trying to sell, and my re-growth is out of control.  At this rate I'm going to need new headshots soon because my hair is growing so fast!  Phew.  I envy the actors who just got discovered in a mall... lucky son of a guns.
