After being represented for 9 months as a family, we finally booked our first commercial...McDonald's! Though it was just an internet commercial, it was still SAG, so the rates are pretty good. Our first audition was last Wednesday and was longer than any audition we had ever had. Casting asked tons of questions and even gave the girls and I rice krispy treats afterwards, I guess to see how we look like eating. We got the callback just before Trung's company party on Friday, which was very exciting.
Fortunately, the callback was on Sunday, so Trung didn't have to miss any work to join us. I felt really good after the audition; just like the first one, it was much longer and it felt like the director and team really wanted to get to know us. We even did the full kota after Sophie told them that we do karate as a family...Master Temple would have been proud. I felt that we did so well at the audition that if we didn't book, than I don't think that we ever would. And sure enough, Monday I got a call from Carol Lynn saying that we were on hold and then a couple hours later, that we had booked. Whoo-hoo!
Our call time was at noon; we had lunch as soon as we arrived and then the girls had school. We literally shot for about 20-30 minutes and we were finished! Here's our finished products...
