Wow, I suck... a lot. I feel like a prized idiot right now, not to mention I am an extreme flake.
I have missed four or five castings this year due to not receiving a voicemail in time, or because I checked my email a day or two late... I try checking my email everyday but castings are so far and few between and there is always so much going on that there are times when I flat out forget to check my email or sometimes I even lose faith in my agency and assume they just stopped informing me of castings... (they’ve done it before) Though I can't really blame anyone but myself. Then when I don't read my email for a short period of time (2-3 days) a casting pops up out of the blue. I forgot to check my email since Sunday and thus missed another casting... Like I said, I can't really blame anyone but myself. I'm in the process of trying to switch agencies and with everything else going on (i.e. senior project, the play...) I almost forgot about trying to keep up with castings and the current agency I am with. (Mode Models.) I'm waiting to hear back from a different agency since the one I am with kinda sucks... hopefully I have learned my lesson and hopefully I make it an extreme priority to check my email daily. This is the first year I am frequently hearing about castings. Before it was like three castings a year... So I should be grateful they're trying to send me to more... I wouldn't be surprised if they drop me, I am coming off as a complete flake and someone who doesn't care... at least I got some work this year and brought them in some money from doing Fred Meyer ads.... The castings I missed this week were for Fred Meyers! Gah, now that’s a casting I know I could have done well at. I actually called the Fred Meyers Iridio (the place where they shoot ads) and left a message in attempt to set up an appointment to come in and meet with stylists. (The casting was after all two days ago...) I figure "What have I got to lose" So I am trying to make my own casting. As I recall the people there are really nice, and I think they'll let me come in for a meeting because I mentioned having worked for them before... Hopefully I can fix this. I really don't know. I’m gunna call them again tomorrow when they’re actually open and hopefully talk to someone in person.
There you have it. That's my silly rant regarding modeling, my flakiness and my extreme lack of organization/routine. I know there are worse things in life. Some people have war in their countries... And I miss castings… Well... I feel a little less shitty now that I typed this all out. It’s all out in the open.
I hope you guys are having good weeks... sorry this post is really lame...
Peace!
