Kidz Bop Film Audition

3/13/09 -Friday - Yesterday we had an audition for a Katy Perry video for Kidz Bop. Not to be confused with yesterday, today we filmed an audition for a different Kidz Bop project. This is a $15,000 deal that is an 18 month contract. The film audition requirements are very specific. Slate name, birth date, agent, and contact number . Sing for 1 minute. Freestyle dance for 30 seconds. If you don't provide exact requirements your audition will be tossed. Hunter felt completely out of his element and kept doubting himself. We decided to put a little spin in the audition to market his true talent. We brought his drum pad and seat. Hunter sang a Jason Mras song I'm Yours while drumming the beat. After his 1 minute was up he danced/lip sinked for 30 seconds to Katy Perry's Hot and Cold. I am still waiting for the video audition to be emailed to me. I will attach it tomorrow so everyone can see it...sure to provide laughs. While hunter is not the best singer or dancer we were trying to play by the rules while marketing his drumming so maybe they could put a drummer in the videos which makes total sense. I was really impressed, Hunter did the whole audition in one take. I would have screwed the slate up 4 times alone. A cute story...after the audition Hunter told me he messed up the words in the middle of the song but he kept going and smiled Real Big..Ha Ha. I was so proud of him because he overcame his fears with flying colors and gained allot of confidence for future endeavours. That's what this experience is all about. We finished the evening by going to a big car show at Bob's Big Boy. Hey Dad...I saw an old Ford Truck exactly like the one your restoring. I am so bummed I didn't bring my camera to take pics for you. We have another audition tomorrow morning at 10am in Santa Monica. Keep posted on the audition and Hunter's Kidz Bop Video tomorrow.
