A typical audition day
What did a typical job or audition day look like?
A typical audition was typically held around the evening time. A shoot day is different because you show up early in the day, and you kind of just have to sit there and talk to people for hours until it is your turn to get your makeup and hair done, and then the shoots are super quick. You stand in front of the camera, get that done. Most of the time you spend waiting.
