Lend me your comb

I've gotten lots of weird instructions for auditions, but this is the first time I've been told to comb my hair. I don't think I've combed my hair in 15 years. I guess they meant "neat and presentable," because they also requested we be clean shaven. Which is a drag, because my facial hair just grew back in from last week's gig.

So cleanshaven authentic Midwestern guy audition went fine. Though I think the shaving had some kind of Samson effect on my performance.

Before that was a really fun audition where it just so happens I was paired up with a guy I did improv classes with several years ago. He's a great guy and super funny and we were able to project some instant chemistry with each other, which was good because they were looking for people to make it loose and funny and improv-y. I'm five years older than the top of the range, though, so unless shaving took that many years off my appearance, it's probably a longshot.

But it's always satisfying to do good work.
