Kidz Bop Audition

3/12/09 - Thursday - Hunter had an audition today for a commercial with Kidz Bop. The commercials have kids 9-12 singing pop songs. Kidz Bop puts these songs on CD and sells them. Kidz Bop is making a music video to the Katy Perry song - Hot and Cold and need kids to be in the video. Hunter's audition request was to lip sink to the song and dance along. We had so much fun with this one. I got to laughing at Hunter so hard that I think I peed my pants. We couldn't come up with a routine..I finally got frustrated and went to work out for an hour. Hunter decided to go on YouTube to pick up some moves. It reminded me of Napoleon Dynamite when he learned to dance from the Hip Hop instructional video. Surprisingly like in the movie, Hunter actually did learn some moves. I returned from my workout and Hunter's little skinny butt was bustin a move. At the audition everything changed...Hunter was asked to go in with a group of 4 kids and sing the song out loud with lots of energy. After they sing the song each kid had to do a little free style dancing as if you were in your bedroom in front of the mirror. When Hunter came out of his audition the casting director said that Hunter had lots of energy and did really well. It's pretty rare you get any feed back from a casting director. Hunter said he made the casting director bust out laughing with a funky move he learned off YouTube...LOL. After our audition we raced off to Patrick Malone's Acting Studio for his acting class. After his class I got a chance to talk to Patrick to see how Hunter was coming along. He said Hunter had a break through class and that Hunter was the best he had seen him. After acting class we raced over to get Hunter some Hip Hop looking cloths. Hunter is shooting an audition film tomorrow and has to look Hip Hop. Keep tuned in and I'll let you know how it went. Keep the comments & questions coming.
