Question: I have to send in a DVD audition!.!.!.!.!.!?
It is for a supporting actress role for an independent film and am not getting paid!. I sent the director my head shot and some basic info and he sent me back the script piece on the character he wants me to audition for!. She is not a main main character and used to date the main character for several years!. They are all at a 20 year class reunion, but my character is going to spend the whole movie in the hospital with her husband who just had a heart attack!. She calls her old boyfriend up and they start reminiscing!. There are a lot of emotions I have to portray on the phone!. Things the character wants to say, but can't find the words!. Basically they still love each other!. I need help as to portray these emotions all in about a five minute phone call!? When I look at myself doing this on my camera I look ridiculous and start laughing!. This is my first movie audition ever!. In my pic I sent I was wearing makeup!. Do I need to wear it during my DVD audition!?
