However, things have 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: started picking up lately and last week she had an 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: in person audition and I went with her. We had 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: plans that day, so it was more convenient to tag 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: along and hang out after. 15 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: That's a great bestie, right, go along to the audition. 16 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: You know. 17 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: Come on, so part a part the bestie is the 18 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 2: one acting. 19 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. So she was excited because it was a big 20 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: company and it would give her a lot of exposure, 21 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: like really good pay, et cetera. I was waiting for 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: for her outside when someone came from casting and they 23 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: started talking with me and they asked what I'm here 24 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: for and if I'm interested in auditioning for an exciting role, 25 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: which was my friend's role.

However, like the person managed 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: to convince me and promised me really good pay, so 31 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: I said yes, but not because I genuinely believed that 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: I would get the role. I just thought it would 33 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: be a funny story to tell my friend. 34 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just thinking like, Okay, I'm gonna tell this roll. 35 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: Well. 36 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: I don't even think she's thinking about like rolling the dice. 37 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: She's just like, oh, like this would be fun. I'm 38 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: definitely not going to get it. I've never been an 39 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: actor her roles, you know, Like, how often do people 40 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: get guesses on auditions never having been acting? Never? 41 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: The word is in gentlemen, we go. 42 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: We got the receipts from world renowned actor Nina.

I mean, I don't have a portfolio, and 48 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: my only acting experience was in a school production many 49 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: many years ago. I didn't try to hype up my 50 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: experiences and was very honest. So when I told my 51 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: friend about it, she jokingly said that I'm now her competition, 52 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: so she has to watch out. 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: Okay, in a little shade there, Yeah, that's sounding like 54 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 2: she's getting jealous to all aboard the jealous. 55 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Train at this point.

I was 61 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: in shock and asked if he got the correct number. 62 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: My friend was with me, and she was in even 63 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: bigger shock. I honestly thought he miscalled me and wanted 64 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: to speak to her because it seemed so ridiculous.
