BMG you're putting me out there. Thank you!! You have been really good to me and an agency I can trust. No they didn't pay me to say this. :D

I mean I've only been with a total of 3 in my time as an actor/model. Over 10 years now.  Models Inc in SF, Tangerine Talent in LA, and BMG with Chicago and so far BMG has really taken care of me. Models Inc as well way back then when I lived in SF. There was a year when I didn't hear from Models Inc and I was finding jobs on my own. Apparently it was a personal issue on their end. Something happened to the owner and I guess she was out of it for a year. We (the talent who were signed up with her) got an email from her saying she knew that in that past year, we haven't heard from her because of issues and she apologized and she was going to go full force to get us out there. And she kept her word, she didn't just get me auditions, she got me booked without having to go on auditions. THOSE ARE THE BEST! Being booked from just headshots. Then I moved to LA. That's a story for another time, maybe.

Thanks again BMG. I hope to be that one Asian guy in your talent pool that get's work for the both of us.

Had an audition today at IO theater. It was quite busy today but I saw Huey. Hopefully I spelled that right. In case you're wondering who he is, I worked with him on a Dell commercial last year. Great funny guy. I also saw another that worked on the Dell but I couldn't remember his name. He was also a great guy. The Dell commercial was the last time I saw the other great guy so it's been awhile. Hope you guys are doing great! Yes yes I said guys many times.

So why this failure. My first take I said my lines perfectly but didn't express it good enough so the person behind the camera, there were two ladies behind the camera and they were extremely nice and easy to talk to, gave me directions on how to say it, so I did my 2nd take and I completely forgot my 2nd line... instead I said something completely different!!! I still finished my script but instead of acting disinterested like she told me to, I think I looked more annoyed and pissed off.

So far this year, this has been my worst 2nd attempt at an attempt. I didn't leave the audition feeling bad or angry, instead I left laughing at myself. That's how you should go through these auditions in life. Laugh at yourself, don't beat yourself up. I laughed at what I said, which was "That's Totally Fine". That's way off from the script by a whole paragraph and many more syllables.

Barb is good. She remembered me. :D

Hopefully I didn't jynx it. I had an audition today at Trigger Studios today. Great place as always. Super quick, just the way I love it.
