Jack has been telling me for the past few years that he wants to get into acting.
He has done a few school musicals where he has a lead part or solo.
He really is a performer and although, he has a shy side.. he's quick to warm up.
Last month we found out there were going to be open talent auditions here in Spokane.
Jack asked if I would take him to the try-outs.
I did a little research first to make sure the agency was legitimate and called them to find out what we needed to do.
They emailed a commercial script for Jack to memorize before the audition and told us to bring a current photo.
We arrived at the audition and the place was packed with over 150 kids and their parents. We waited almost 3 hours to finally get our turn.
Jack introduced himself and turned on his magic while reciting the script.
The talent scout was impressed and didn't hide it.
She even asked me why I hadn't gotten Jack into acting sooner.
The scout loved the fact that Jack looks so much younger than he actually is.. this is an asset in show business. :)
She let it be known right then that Jack would be getting a call back for the next day. We didn't have to stress and wait for the call.
Jack walked into the audition at 4'9 and walked out 6'9. LOL!
The next day we went back and long story short.. Jack is now signed with a talent agency and is beginning to go to auditions.
He has his first big audition this upcoming week and I'm both excited and nervous.
There's a very good chance we could be traveling to Los Angeles in next month or two.
As a mom I'm torn.. this is both exciting and scary...
Jeff and I are trying to just view this as Jack's "sport" and want to help him pursue his dreams.
For now, we will have to see what happens..
maybe, he will get a chance to do a few local commercials or something much bigger.
Here are some recent photos I took for his acting portfolio.
