A Great Find For Actors: Killthedoor.com

Acting Out

Acting Out

Today starts out like a typical Monday–
I’m waiting like-FOREVER in a Casting Office, which generally makes me crazed (I’m already so nervous!) but luckily I’m sitting next to this cool girl, Ashley (who could easily pass for my twin) and–
She and I BOND.

The hour+ wait goes SO much faster because we keep trading Audition Horror Stories (We have A LOT of material to draw from!) I guess it‘s true about misery loving company, because we end up laughing a lot, which actually feels pretty good, since Auditions usually tend to make me feel more like crying or calling a Head Hunter to have my head examined for actually choosing to be in this insane industry.

Ashley’s recovering from being cast on a pilot for Cable and being fired before it’s even shot (Talk about depressing!) And I tell her how I felt when I was the only one being tested for a show on a Network (which I’ll refrain from mentioning just in case I ever go up in front of them again) and after Producers tell me (before the test) that I’m definitely “The Girl”— when the test is over, my Agent finds out that they’ve decided to keep looking. WTF!

The best part about sitting next to Ashley, besides meeting someone new to hang out with,  is that she turned me on to killthedoor.com.

Killthedoor.com is THE place to go for Actors —

    Thanks! Sadly killthedoor.com is no longer out there. Apparently it was politically a problem in the Industry. Too bad because it was awesome.
