Filling In The Blanks

Casting will begin this Friday and might go on for a couple of days. Jaime, my wife and a couple of trusted friends will help me in this respect.

I've never conducted auditions before, so this will not only be fun, but very uncharted territory. I was fortunate to find a couple of sites with postings by other directors who have had similar experiences and was able to pull some tips from them.

I figure that it will take at least two weekends to do the casting. I want to find the right people for the gig. Even though this will be a non-paying event, I think that there could still be a decent amount of talent willing to work for a resume piece. Not to mention the fact that if it all goes well, maybe we can acquire funding for a bigger production later.

Still, I can't help but be a bit nervous about the process. I use to know a ton of actors, years ago in Corpus Christi. They were always willing to act for free and more than willing to be involved in other aspects of production. I hope I can make lots of connections on this first run.

I did some acting years ago. They were only stage plays in junior high, but I was able to get a lot of parts. I'm gonna dig deep and use that for the benefit of the cast and hopefully be able to draw some good performances.
