My Timing Sucks

My Timing Sucks

Aug 10, 2022

So I found a super cool casting call on Backstage on Monday. It was for a Geico Halloween commercial. Very cute. However, I was exhausted from my drive home from PA that morning, had to review the script for my murder mystery show on Tuesday, had to prep for recording Tabula Rasa, B!tches then actually record, and by the time I was done with it all, I was just too exhausted. I crashed, telling myself I would do it after my show Tuesday. After all, I'm not gonna put forth a good audition when I'm tired!

But the show Tuesday was in Delaware, I was the lead, and while the show was a smash hit, my energy was smashed when I got home and the prospect of memorizing the part, then recording the very involved self-tape was too much. I fell asleep face-down on the couch with Letterkenny playing on the TV.

So this morning! I was determined! And while I didn't feel great about my zombie physicality, at least I did it. I had checked before I started recording that the listing was still active, but by the time I went to submit...it was not.

FUCK.

I mean, like I said, I wasn't confident in it. They asked for a zombie who was mostly normal, just moved a little slower, a little stiffly from rigor mortis. 🤷‍♀️

But screw it. I recorded it and edited it all pretty so damnit someone's gonna see it. Can't post it publicly cause I'm sure that's illegal or something. So here ya go!
