Acting : That Awkward Moment by Terrence Sellers

That Awkward Moment

Got offered to audition for a feature last minute on Friday. Had to read with less than 24 hours notice, but it was only 1 page for the audition so I was able to learn the lines pretty quickly. I think the audition went well. I wish I had of taken the time to learn the lines of all the characters, because they ended up asking me to read for another character in the scene without any notice. Thankfully, that character's lines were even shorter, so I was able to adapt pretty quickly.

On the way out of the audition, a guy that I read with in another audition was walking in to read for the same role. It felt like one of those funny movie moments you see in films about struggling actors.

Congratulations on the audition and nailing it, Terrence Sellers!!!

I've heard of actors doing that. Reading other actors' parts. I think it's so that actor can get a better understanding of the script. And like you said, "I wish I had of taken the time to learn the lines of all the characters, because they ended up asking me to read for another character in the scene without any notice."

That’s great! The first ever feature I booked I read for a small role and then they had me read the for the lead and I ended up booking it! A total cold read as well.

It goes to show how having such an open mindset can help, and you clearly impressed them enough that they wanted to see more of you.

Congrats and keep us updated if you hear anything else!

Congratulations on the audition! Sounds like you handled it very well!
