Okay ..... I finally got THE audition I've been waiting for. A chance to be in the Richard Linklater film "Bernie"!!!! It stars Shirley McClain and Jack Black. I've been boldly asking both my agents to submit me. Then I found a self submission page which I submitted two very different tapes of my own created characters. Well finally, my Dallas Agent called Monday night saying I was to go to a Straight To Director Audition the next day! I had quite a few lines to learn but I took off to Austin on Tuesday Sept. 14th. It went pretty well. I was to be a "Proper" lady who talks from her back porch. I did get a little tongue twisted on two words, "genuinely" and "proclivities"..... I saw Richard Linklater out of the corner of my eye, he looked a little "WTHey?" But I think I did well overall and this will also be cast for a "Look". I shall see!!! I've been quoting Proverbs 22:29 "
Do you see someone who excels in their work? They will not work for the obscure, but for the significant." On the drive back to Houston, I thought, "I just stood before a six time Oscar winning Director and an Emmy winning Casting Director. The words I've been speaking have led me to where I am today. Keeping positive words in my mouth is so important! Life and death are in the power of the tongue.
