I went to meet with my first agent today. Before you start getting all excited, just relax. They didn’t sign me on right then and there. Like most agents they want to see if you can get work and can make money (they want some of it too after all, so it makes sense). So now that we have that out of the way, I’ll tell you a bit about it.

I sat and waited in a nice sized greeting room on a big, leather couch (it may have been pleather, but I didn’t bother to sniff).  My mom was there as was the husband unit. My entourage if you will (might as well start that now darlink).  I met a nice man I’ll call “Mitch”. He was very friendly and funny.  He took me back to the “interview area” (that’s what I’ll call it) and we talked a bit.

As he reviewed my resume he was a bit concerned that I have not done any screen work before but I assured him I did realize the difference between the two mediums.  And I honestly do.  One has to be plugged in to see after all. We chatted for a while and he gave me the skinny on what they do. I gave him some of my head shots and he then mentioned that they had a local ad come in today that no one had read for yet and wanted to know if I was interested in auditioning then and there.

Being the consummate professional  I said “Hell, yeah!” Well, not those words exactly, but it did cross my mind.  He double checked with me and said if I didn’t feel comfortable I didn’t have to, but I assured him that there was no time like the present.

So, lights, camera, ACTION! I did my first audition. It was only one line, but it’s a start.   You never know, I might get my first paid job hee hee
