selling my soul to dick wolf.
there are a lot of pay-to-play operations out here that feed on the hopes and fears of starveling actors. today, i patronise one of them.
i'm trying to swallow my gorge at showing up to an audition where i'm required to have fifty dollars in cash in my pocket, but really, i don't know what else to do. being new in town, i'm largely reliant on the audition announcements in the trade papers, which really, are de la merde. plus, even for the ones that sound interesting, i don't get called after i've dutifully emailed, sent headshots, hugged tikis and said novenas.
(note: if you're wondering if this lack of response is because i suck, i don't think it is. i may not be frances macdormand, but i've seen other non-equity actors audition and i am not at the bottom of the barrel. also, no one can tell if i suck from an email. it could be because of a lack of new york credits, but jaysus. if that's why, my head will explode.)
anyway. i'm doing it. bleh.
