Audition

I was at an audition for a documentary film a few weekends ago. The film was to be an exposé on the life of a typical New York actor.

The girl running the audition explained to the crowd of us in the hallway outside that the audition would consist of an interview in which the filmmakers would ask us a number of questions to get a feel for how we relate to the camera, how personable we seem, if we're interesting...that sort of thing.

One girl raised her hand.

"Yes? Do you have a question?"

"Yeah. So...when we do this interview...do they want us to act?"


*sigh*

Well, they wanted a "typical New York actor".
