Boy. World. World. Boy. "Nice to meet you."
This gives me a full TGIF scorecard...
Sabrina -- auditioned for guest star -- got it
There was a moment when I felt I had completely blown this audition. This was the first time the following had ever happened in an audition: We began the scene. She had the first line. As she delivered the line, everyone else in the room started laughing. I hadn't spoken yet! I hadn't done anything yet! And they were laughing. Was the casting director that funny, that on the fourth time through the scene she could still make the producers laugh? Or, and this is where I realized this part wasn't going to be mine? Were they expecting me to contribute some comedy in the form of 'clever reaction shots?' Either way, there didn't seem to be anything all that funny going on. And for a TGIF sitcom, that's a problem. My last line was the only real joke I had. I gave it the subtle Ducey spin. Wrong. That was the manifestation of what seemed to be wrong from the beginning. I didn't base my performance on the style of the show I was auditioning for. Whether for good or ill, I'm afraid my audition simply wasn't "Boy Meets World" enough. It just didn't have that TGIF special something.
