My third and final audition of the day was for a voice-over for a series of National Nissan car commercials. And you hate to think about this stuff at the audition, but as the casting director described it, it would be a long series with many different commercials. What that translates into for me and my bank account is a potential for large sum of money. That's just what you don't want to be thinking about as you step in front of the microphone.
There were two 30-second spots. And both went quite well. The tone of the commercials was supposed to be sarcastic, and if there's only one thing I can do, that is be sarcastic. So I did my cynical guy thing and when I finished the second one, the casting director said to me, "You are one sarcastic son of a bitch." Whatever I lack in talent, I make up for in sarcasm.
