Okay, long story:
A while ago, around mid-February, I got a call from Epstein-Wyckoff, asking me to come in for an interview. I called Peter for advice on what to do for an interview, and he gave me the low down--they're well-know, bi-coastal, well-respected. They handle film and Broadway, although no commercials. Went in for the interview beginning of March, the owner, Gary, liked what he saw, and asked me to audition. Gave me extensive notes on what he wanted. Two songs, two monologues--the best bit of advice was "Don't audition. Perform." Mid-March, I went in and did two monologues: Titania, "These are the forgeries of jealousy..." and from Say Goodnight, Gracie, the one about the Cuban missile crisis. I also sang "Waiting for Life" and "Embraceable You." He told me to call him the next day, "after I've had a chance to digest this." He's a difficult man to reach--I had to call several times over the next few days to reach him. Finally, he says he liked the audition, and liked me, but he's having a hard time typing me--can I come in again? So, after another couple of weeks, I do. This time I do Abigail's forest monologue from The Crucible, "Why, you taught me goodness, John..." (chewing up plenty o' scenery--"And by God, I will scrub the world clean for the love of Him!") and sang "My White Night" (thank you, Duncan) and "Gooch's Song." Immediately afterward he said he liked this audition much better--"I saw what I needed to see as an actress, and I heard what I needed to hear." Now he wants to know which CDs in the city have seen me. I emailed him the information the next day, and have been waiting to call him, to give him a chance to talk to those CDs to see if they remember me, and what they think.
I finally spoke with him today. He told me to send in some pictures and resumes! He wants to represent me! Yay!
