The only to-do I’ve been procrastinating over break is going through peoples head shots and bios who auditioned for a project i am on the casting board for. doing it now is reminding me why i’ve been putting it off… and why i dont do auditions :/
UPDATE: this is awkward… my rather eclectic multi-tier project i am part of casting has both an animated entertainment division and a thing a with a bunch of models and bikini chicks n stuff and… this girl trying out for the modeling one doesnt cut it but has this nasally Lisa Simpson voice that would be great in a toon…… is there any possible way to approach her about this without destroying her feelings? no, right? 🙁
Ashley at MissAshleyPants.com gave some great advice on how to soften the blow by couching the cartoon suggestion in pep-talk and white lies about the modeling side of it but im just terrified of blurring the clown-nose-on, clown-nose-off lines and being too good at fake-talk and then — next thing you know it, im using a bone saw to evenly segment hobos i drugged with spiked coffee and mailing their body parts to random addresses in the phone book… ya know? 🙁
She says that I should emphasize that my selections must be approved by others – which is true – I actually dont have final say on my picks so thats a good line to go down.. but i just have horrific flashbacks of fakie-faced dudes with plastered smiles saying similar things in an announcer voice and i panic and cover my ears and then – blip – it’s real life and everyone is wondering why i’m swinging around in the corner screaming “i’ll never bee like yuuuuuu!” and crying.
