After juggling so much the week of the Nature’s Path Bread commercial I got really run down and sick. Monday through Thursday of the following week I only had my day job to deal with, so I got some rest, other than the Birthday Party I went to on Monday night where I perhaps drank a little more wine than I should have. If anyone is prone to burning their candle on both ends, it is moi. By Thursday morning, I knew I needed medication so I called the Dr and picked up a prescription. Thursday night I got a call from ITA that I have 2 call backs for Papa Murphy’s Pizza on Friday. That meant they wanted to see me for the role I originally auditioned for as well as another role for a different spot, they were shooting 3 different spots. I spent 3 hours at callbacks. I wore the same shirt that was chosen for the Nature’s Path Shoot, because it fit the role and I decided it must be “good luck.” The first role was for a part of a wife, the second a librarian/nerdy book club lady. My agent called me at 2:00 pm to tell me I was on avail for Papa Murphy’s Pizza and that I had an audition for a Sit and Sleep commercial tomorrow, Tuesday. I felt swept up into busy-ness again! Not only busy-ness but some kind of break through in where I’m at as an actor, as if critical mass has been reached and things are just going to flow. One hour later Sharon called back, to tell me that I had booked the commercial. I was so grateful and happy to have booked and worked a job at the beginning of the year and now I had booked another one for the month of January. So excellent! Perseverance has always been the key for me, as well as commitment to learn and get better and better at the auditioning process and art of acting itself. I do not know when the shoot is yet, as it is scheduled 1/19 to 1/21, so I don’t even know if I will be able to attend the Sit and Sleep Audition. I will probably find out when I go to the fitting this afternoon.
