Shameless Self(less) Promotion
You know what? I audition for tons of television shows. Sometimes I get called back, and sometimes I don't, sometimes I book them and sometimes I don't. It's part of the gig and I am used to it. Nothing personal.
A few months ago I got a call from my agent - I'd been asked to film an audition to send immediately to NYC. It's for a guest starring role on an HBO show that shoots in NY - the downside, according to him was that I would have to work as a direct hire (which means they wouldn't pay to fly me out there or put me up - I'd have to pay my way) He felt that the role was strong enough that it would be worth it.
"Its a show called 'Flight of the Conchords', that's Con C-H-O-R-D-S"
and this is me listening to the message
SPAAAAAAAAAAAZ!!!!!!!!!OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!SPAAAAAAAZZ!!!!
cause OH YES, I know who they are, I LOVE them. I have been pestering Vinny to see if they can get them on Attack of the Show somehow.
The role was letter perfect for me - I mean, are you kidding? haha, I thought, does she work in a BAKERY?
oh she does. okay then. *cough*
I got to producers but alas.
This was one of the few that I was truly upset that I didn't book. No sort of chin up maybe next time attitude here. Just a lot of WHO THE FUCK BOOKED IT? I AM PERFECT FOR THAT PAAAAART PLUS I LUUUUUUURVE THEM!!!! WAAAAA. Not to mention the fact that I was dead sure the show was going to be a big hit.
Well, anyway, you should all watch this show. It's brilliant. Here are clips from the first episode. This was not the episode I auditioned for - but I'm sure that will be just as funny. C'est la vie.
what?
No, I'm not crying... it's just been raining on my face. And if I AM crying It's not because of not getting this show, it's because I'm thinking about a friend of mine that you don't know who is dying THAT'S RIGHT, DYING.

FotC? hah sweet, I just downloaded the first 2 episodes because posted in their LJ the first video you linked here. Nice!
You was robbed. What sort of karmic retribution are you paying for, anyway?
at least all the humans are dead and can't watch the show you won't be on.
Well, you can just stay home and play synthesizers.
If you track down the podcast feed (it's on itunes) it has the whole first episode in non-suctacular-non-flash version. I've…been telling a lot of people. I really like the show. If you too like the show but are new to all this, see if you can track down the Texan Odyssey documentary. It's pretty good and it has the info you need to get the inside joke in the first episode.
aw, you were totally robbed. FOTC seriously needs some kristen komedy stylings!
IZ BIZNEZ TAAHHHHMMMM
whoops, sorry... that (peter) was me above. apparently I never set up a blogger profile.
