” You really rocked the reading”, and continues with the run down of the rehearsal and shoot schedule dates. Yes, today I went on a call back for a short indie film that the production company intends to enter into a couple film festivals. I got a little nervous as I physically prepared to present myself as much like the character as possible. Prior to going to the call back I performed a serious soliloquy that went something like this:
Is this the right color shirt; Should I wear these jeans or a dress? Ok, I’ll put on the dress; no, this is too slutty, the character isn’t slutty, she’s exotic. Ok well then lets go with the purple shirt and the red belt, no no too 80’s. Is my hair too short? Is it too curly? Maybe I should wear a wig…no they like your head shot silly why would you cover up the hair that helped you get the call back? Ok, I think I’ll go with the blue dress; sexy but classy. Damn, I only have 10 minutes to get there; hurry up Ashlee. Ok, ok I think I’m ready…breathe; this should be fun. Yes fun, don’t make a big deal about it. Either they want you or they don’t. They saw something in you to call you back; now be natural, do your best, and most of all: HAVE FUN!!
And that’s the bottom line. I did my best and had fun with the project. The director enjoyed my performance and said he will give me a call with the rehearsal schedule once they have the final cast member in place. And that was my Sunday, a fulfilling confirmation of my life; I’m already famous! And so are you 
Enjoy every moment of this incredible journey…and always remember that if you truly believe it to be, so it shall. What do you believe about your success?
