August 6, 1997
The call came to the house directly from Jeff Greenberg's office. Call before five to read for a "Toyota Video." The spot is some sort of industrial, perhaps for auto shows this season. The concept is just two good friends, male and female, just chatting away, living their lives, and then one or two trigger words from their random conversations lead into an announcer hard-selling a Toyota Corolla. Odd.
We went in two-by-two. My partner was good, funny. We did the scene pretty well. The take of my coverage was the worst of the takes, unfortunately, and I may be too young, but maybe since this did not go through ddk, I'll have better luck getting a callback. Gotta break the streak!!!
