Aunt Tessa and I took time from our chores to spend time with little Emory before heading to the west coast. The final loads of laundry are being completed, suitcases started, pet care straightened out and final preparation for the trip completed.
Last night at 9:00pm I got an email from Tessa's manager to go online and setup with a new casting website.
To explain... There have been 2 main sites in LA and 1 for the rest of the country. We have to maintain these constantly because this is where most of the auditions come from.
This is how it works... A part needs casting, the casting directors send the request to talent agents. The talent agents review their clients and send the names of the actors meeting the profile to the casting director. The casting director then reviews these websites and decides who they want to audition. Your pictures, resumes, personal data and video clips are reviewed. The casting director contacts the talent agent and the talent agent contacts the actor or the manager if you have one. You confirm on the website and usually have about 24 hours to a couple days to either audition in person or send in a tape.
Therefore any changes, pictures, age, height, weight, clothes sizes, jobs etc. have to be updated constantly. If the child is growing this can be quite a task. Now there's another website! We have to keep up 4. Pat and I were on the computer entering all of Tessa's data and uploading pictures (between texts and emails with her manager) until midnight.
Gotta love it... But we are good to go for now. Also if you use Imdb search for Tessa Nicole you will get a chance to see Tessa's credits. Kind of fun.
Signing off for now.
