Not Meant for the Role

These days, production teams rely on auditions to give talents a fair chance at certain roles and prevent the usual network personalities from monopolizing work. In addition, production teams can discover deserving newbies.

Talents can sometimes do more than auditioning just to be considered for a role. For instance, Expecting Talent (ET) was coveting a prized role in a network project. To make a mark during the audition, ET was advised to prepare by building up her public relations to people who would matter. ET followed the recommendation and was all out in giving expensive gifts, such as branded bags and watches. She even asked the help of her supportive parents for funds. When the giving frenzy ended, ET allegedly spent a very hefty figure.

Auditions came and ET showed her stuff. The panel was, unfortunately, unimpressed and shocked. The acting was below par and registration was not that remarkable. However, the panel included ET in the recommendation list. After thorough evaluation, ET was not even in the supporting cast. ET was depressed and her parents were disappointed. ET was embarrassed as well as she made a premature announcement to friends that she would be get the role.

‘There's always failure. And there's always disappointment. And there's always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.’ − Michael J. Fox
