I had a Dr Pepper audition this morning. The call was for “business men in suits” which made it easy since I have to dress up for my conservative day job. The location was a casting studio in Hollywood. Parking is always tough in that area but today it was even more so because there was a production filming in the area and all of the production trucks were parked on one side of the street. Luckily I found parking further down the street. I’ve been to this casting studio many times before (actually this is where I got cast in my first national commercial) and usually it’s packed with people. Today was different though. Only a handful of guys in suits waiting for their turn. I was the only asian guy at the time as well which is cool because it means less competition for “my type”. Anyway, the audition was as simple as walking aross the room passing another business guy drinking a Dr. Pepper and saying “23″. I have no idea what “23″ is suppose to mean or refer to, but we did this 3 different times from different angles and that was it. I was in-n-out within 20min. Nice and easy. Now let’s see if I can get a callback.

I can only hope to be as lucky as that asian guy in the new cingular commercials. He’s gonna be making the big bucks.
