Faith Renewed

2 weeks and a day after the first audition, Hans got a call back for a second audition. The email was sent on a Monday for a Tuesday call back! How does one prepare for it and what goes into this preparation?! I asked Hans to prepare a little monologue about his most favourite person.

Hans' first pick was Ironman! The first sentence of his monologue included words like kidnapped, stabbed, killed and murdered! Seriously?! Time to quickly pick another superhero who has a little less violence in his past. Next choice was Captain America. A good story about a boy overcoming physical limitations and achieving his goal of serving his country!

Hans had 15 minutes allocated for him. He was in the audition for over 15 minutes! I thought that it was a good indication. Then, almost a week goes by and NO word. I couldn't sleep at all. On the 7th day, I missed a call and when I called back, it was the Casting Director!! He had good news; they wanted Hans to be part of the TVO show. After several auditions, they selected 14 kids.

Yesterday was Hans' first day of filming with dialogue. He worked with a script and did 3 scenes for an episode. He was exhausted after a 5 hour schedule; however, he was so happy and can't wait to go back tomorrow!!

Thank you Gods and Goddesses!
