Don't know if it's an age thing, but seems to be picking up for Madison on the audition scene. She had another one at House Casting yesterday. She had a couple of lines that she learned the day before. She went in with a "dad," but for the first time ever she showed hesitation and a little trepidation. Very unlike Madison. But we all have been sick with the stomach bug, flu and everything else. She hasn't seen the light of day in weeks it seems like.

When they came out of the audition, the "dad" said she was a different kid and was totally fine. Great. Proud of her.

Holy moley guacamole!

So today was terrible. Madison was in an epic mood right after school. So much so that I questioned taking her on her audition. But she committed to it. As a grown-up she'll have to go to things even if she's in a bad mood. So let's instill this now.

After quiet it was another fight to get her changed, but once on the road her demeanor changed. We got to House Casting (love that facility), checked-in and sat down for no more than 5 minutes before she got called. Went in with another little girl. Apparently they had to bark like a dog. Okay, I guess? I thought it called for a chef. I could actually hear a loud "Woof!" from the room. LOL.

Madison came out, I asked whether she had fun, she said "Yes," and we went on our merry way. We made it to the South Bay for her ballet class. My only concern is that Mads mentioned that she doesn't want to do auditions because she doesn't want to miss dance :-/ I guess we'll see.

Really, Another One?!

Well, Madison got another audition today. Got the ticket yesterday afternoon. What's crazy is that I had booked her out for today because she was supposed to have dress rehearsal for tomorrow's ballet company showcase. The rehearsal got moved to last week, so it all worked out.

I took off from work early to take Mads. When I got home she was still asleep. I guess that's what happens when you are 4 and you have the sniffles. I had no problem not going, I'm not forcing anyone. But at the same time, what's worse the current whining or the tantrum that would ensue if we didn't't go? She ended up pulling together and leaving with me.

We went down to 90038, and found the most stunning production facility at House Casting. Went in, and were greeted warmly, a rarity in Hollywood. Signed Madison in and waited about 5 minutes. She got called in with another little girl. From what I learned after is that she got to play with an iPad. The iPad was black. She had fun.

Last week's family audition holds are going out tonight. We did not get a call. Momma is NOT ready for her close up.
