Call Back: Total Hollywood Moment

Friends!

Oh my god. I had a call back Monday for a national Hispanic commercial promoting one of the Hispanic networks on demand services (trying to be discreet, I'm still technically up for the job). It was my first big call back and a bunch of fun. I love firsts so it was nice to accomplish that.

During the auditions, last week, we were asked to dance a little salsa before we read the copy and that was loads of fun. I had to wear a "sexy dress." so i pulled out my sexy, but tasteful, hot pink spicy number I bought for my birthday last year. And honey dancing in that thing was awesome! Well, during the call backs, this week, we were asked to *not* dance anymore...way to inflate my salsa ego...lol. Instead, we were asked to be "real" and read the copy in our own "voice" like we were chatting with a friend. so I did my thing and here is where my Hollywood moment happened...

Me: (read my copy, did my thing and added a nice funny button to the end)
Director: (honest tone and with a smile) "Giovanni, that was great, just perfect! You have the right idea, beautiful and the camera loves you, just loves you."

Hahaha...no one has ever told me "the camera loves you". I nearly died. Of course, my real first reaction was a nice peek in my ego. lol And then, I thought to myself. "Who says that...?" Now, don't get me wrong, the director was a total sweet heart and he definitely said it in a honest and sweet way. And I don't think he meant to blow smoke up my, you know what. But, it was just so funny. On my drive home, I just kept thinking..."if only the camera were a hot, single and eligible man! I'd be set!" hahaha...

Oh boy, I'm still getting use to the Hollywood moments. so I needed to share. It was a funny and fun experience. And I hope for more.  :)


Much love to you friends. I'm on my way to an audition for casting director Cathy Carlton...I have no clue what its for. I'm excited to meet Cathy. Her commercials are awesome. Its a same day audition my agent called me about. But, I'll be sure to share the details when I'm done. :)


Besitos,
