The most important and insane part of the Acting process for a child actor is getting to the casting calls! It is hectic and often there is little notice. Children must be escorted by an adult and the adult most likely has a job, which means they are juggling their schedule.
Today Annika has a Casting Call at Christine WYSE Casting in Boston's Back Bay area. I hate the drive to Boston, especially in the afternoon and evening coming back. BUT...I love Annika and I want her to have her opportunities. We checked the train schedule and of course, it is sold out for the times we need to commute.
So instead I onsessively studied the driving directions and used the Google Map feature of street view and attempted to ingrain to my memory what the street turn would look like. This way I will not miss it!
On my last trip to this particular casting location, I missed my exit in Boston and I had no gps to circle me around. Luckily, I had been there about 3 times before and we have walked all about Boston because her Agents are nearby and other casting locations are nearby. So on that day...I circled and circled until I found the street, identified the address and then could not find parking.
It all worked out that day, although she did well for the casting she was not hired for that job. But getting hired is important, it's just not everything. Remember that!
