Central Casting Part 2

Hooray!~ This time, everything went fine.

I went on down again to Central Casting this afternoon, found the line for people with appointments (which I hadn't known about before), found a couple of people to chat with, and after about forty minutes they started checking people in (ten minutes after the appointment time). The room only held about a hundred people or so, and I know there were way more than that in line, so yay for appointments! (or getting there early. really really really early, especially as now they're not doing the appointments anymore)

After everyone was seated, one of the workers spent about an hour going over the paperwork (W-4, I-9, confidentially, special skills, etc) which I had already filled out. I did have to make a couple of minor corrections :D. Then, almost another hour was spent talking about how to get jobs - they've got a phone-in system - and a bit of 'about central casting'. I discovered just after that a major perk to having an appointment - I sat in the first row, and thus was one of the first to get photographed. Headshot completed, I was finally done.

I'm not sure how long it'll take for me to get into their system, but I'm assuming it'll be safe to start calling in tomorrow evening. With spring break next week (EEEEE!!!!!) I'll finally have that lull in my schedule that'll allow for extras work (or background work. It's called 'background' now instead of 'extra' as it used to be so everyone would feel more important. Really. Go on and check it out if you don't believe me).

There's 'acting trials' part... whatever :). And it's a success story!

Acting 'oops'!

Trials of An Actress

I missed a day again! :P At least I caught it before it got too late, this time.

So - Wednesday. Kind of an 'oops' day anyway, but I'd made an appointment back in January to register with Central Casting, and so I went down there, all makeup, clothes, and hair done. Of course, I get there and discover I forgot my social security card (typical). They were nice enough to reset my appointment for next week. Considering they're stopping the appointment system they had (but still honoring the appointments that people set up before they ended them), it's great for me. So! I'll just have to be more put together, next week :D.

That's pretty much all that went on - I spent the morning running around getting ready, brushing my teeth, washing my hair, picking my clothes (shoes, shirt, and pants), and doing makeup. Then I was (again) exhausted when I got home (way I live my life, pretty much. I suspect that's why I keep trying to leave my computer in various classrooms).
