Another Film Audition (sans agent)

Just came back from another film audition.  I just love that I've gotten so many auditions without having an agent.  This one is a new, short-form series that will be on the web.  Turner production, two minute episodes.  Webisodes, in the parlance of our times.  Some of these latest additions to the English language are rather silly, I would say.  Webisode, blog, etc.
I read the part of a waiter who hits on the lead character in the show.  Two lines.  Hey, gotta start somewhere, right?  I was nervous on the first take and forgot part of the second line.  Took a few moments (felt like an hour) to get the second half of the line back into the front of my brain.  Second take was much better thanks to good direction.  The director and the casting agent laughed.  That's good.  I think.
I'm still pretty new to the film side of things but there is one thing I know for sure.  A director that will take the time to direct you in an audition is a blessing.  Glen is one of those directors.  I always walk out feeling like I've learned something new about the business.  Love him!
