“Really?” Annie seemed to be having trouble seeing straight.
“Could we pre-audition?” Priya took the bait.
“Well, you look good. Your voices are nice. If you want we could pre-audition right now.”
There eyes widened. Grins spread across their young naive faces. I hoped the microphones were picking up everything.
“CAN WE??!!” They both squealed in delighted unison.
“Yes, right now. Directors mainly want to see you react in uncomfortable or intimate situations so they know you won't freeze up in front of the camera. Let's get started.” I gave them my most innocent look.
“Intimate??” Annie managed but still kept her big smile. She looked a bit wobbly and flushed. Brownies and juice. Hash and booze. Fantastic.
“Sir? What do you mean sir?” Priya's confused look was deepening as she leaned on Annie for support. Her second glass of “juice” had disappeared.
“I'll give you some intimate things to do and, depending, on how well you perform I'll write a very positive pre-audition report and you are GUARANTEED to get acting parts. You first Priya.”
“Thank you sir.” |
