A Real Audition

So I did an audition last week and totally stole the footage to show you guys.

I'm basically just showing you how to ident, what the quality of the footage is like, how close the camera usually is on your face and what kind of studio lighting is normally used. Extra powder to stop shine (even for men) is really necessary sometimes!

I also did a new blog about what I do as a casting assistant. You should read it: http://straightfromschool.org/2011/09/blog-casting-assistant-introduction/

I really love your videos. I have learned quite a lot from you. I have always loved acting, its one of my greatest passions. I am at university for neuroscience and i act because i love it. I dont want to be famous, and thats something i love about acting. I can do it because i love it with little chance of becoming famous. Anyway thank you for your amazing advice :)

@xoxoaneshaxoxo Hi there (sorry I don't know your name!). Thank you SO much for your comment, I'm really so pleased to hear you have found these videos helpful!

Gosh, as I said at summer in the city, you really are pretty :)

[straightfromschool]

@ICOEPRproductions Oh thank you! (And agreed, there are a few 'special' comments on some of my videos!)

You should have worn a nice dress and high heel shoes. Your presentation of yourself did not show off your beautiful qualities. You should have painted your nails as well. You just seemed bland in this audition when you are so much more beautiful than that.

@wildboy92004 Thank you for the compliment but I will just point out that I don't care if I 'should' have dressed more nicely. Wearing high heels won't make a difference to whether an actor gets a job or not.

Yeahhh I'm gonna have to go ahead and agree with wildboy92004, while I found this video very easy to masturbate to, I do wish you had made more of an effort.
