Commercial Workshop is Done!!!

So today was the last day of my commercial workshop. I've gotta say, I have been in the business for years and realize that I had no  clue how to properly audition!!! LOL  The trippy part is how many national commercials I was able to book without knowing what I was supposed to be doing.
After doing some research, I decided on Killian McHugh's commercial workshop. Week 1 started and was eye opening. Earlier during that day I had a casting for ING. It came with sides(Script) the night before, so I was prepared. I did the audition  and was convinced that I had to be getting a "call-back"(2nd casting). Well, I showed up to Killian's class(which is run just like and audition), and I was critiqued. I knew...I just knew I WASN'T GETTING THAT CALL BACK FOR ING!!!!!!!!! Eye opening doesn't explain it. I just didn't know what I didn't know. Modeling is one thing and bringing it in front of the camera is EASY for me.
Killian taught me an technique, a tool. I feel completely empowered. Now I know what other actors have been feeling when they show up to a casting COMPLETELY PREPARED. Something's been missing and I just didn't know what it was. Now I've got it and I'm GEEKED!
I realized something else today.....during the break that I took from the bizness,  I had lost my groove....Cue-Tip...BabyKane was missing...my whole vibe had changed. I removed myself from the environment that I loved the most and replaced it with what???? The complete opposite. Would I change anything? NO, I wouldn't change a thing.  Those decisions I've made, have made me the man I am today. I truly don't believe that I was prepared for success several years ago. I would have sabotaged myself...but I am now.....and I feel like the old Babykane/CUE!....but the new version if that makes sense. So what's my next step??? Next Wednesday I'm meeting with Kimberly Jentzen and going to be enrolling in her Scene study class. I will continue with Killian's refresher courses too....the journey continues.
