Ava was here when we when we talked about the

Of a sudden, I can hear.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Okay, yeah, okay, let's move on beyond the cockroach thing. Ava.
So do you do a lot of auditions for parts
in film? And I chose I do?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
What's that like living in New York City and hitting
the pavement and going to these auditions and and what's
it like?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's not the same anymore. I think we all got
to watch like the gorgeous little interviews of people like
being found on the street at fourteen and then like
being who they are now. Now it's like self tapes.
You're like in your closet, you're roommates reading for you.
Everything's online. It's all a little bit like what do
you look like? Do you look the part? Okay, got
(01:06):
it go. There's no kind of It's not about like
bringing your personality into the room as much as it
used to be until you get like the callback or
the second callback, which to finally get to be yourself.
But the first two are pretty much like do you
look the part, do you live nearby? Are you union?
Do you have an agent? Well?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So, have you had offers? Some some comeback offers? Few?
And what this is kind of funny because Gandhi was
telling me you told the story. What makes it so
unique about the parts that you get callbacks for?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Well, there's a range between like Charlie Chaplin's daughter and
like singing girl in Woods. But the main thing I
get the callback for tend to be either foster children
or drug addicts.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Okay, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I don't have I don't know. If I don't know,
if I look vulnerable, I must look like like small.
I'm five two, I don't know. People maybe see me
and are like, oh no, I don't know. My agent
told me I have sad eyes, which I don't know why.
(02:19):
Apparently they're sad and maybe it's like the tragic beauty
or like right brooding.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what
a foster child will look like, because that's a whole
rainbow of looks. I was told by Gandhi that the
most things you're called back for are crackheads and runaways.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yep, yep, that sounds about right. I recently did a
self tape where I had to be well, like, I'm
sitting obviously in my closet in my apartment in New
York City, but I meant to be on a train
to nowhere, running away to like and it's like the
self tape is calling my parents and being like, don't
look for me. I'm gonna be fine. I just I
(02:59):
have to go my own way. And now he's like,
what is happening right now? Also, the girl I was
like sixteen, I like, I don't know, I'm doing my
best here with what I got.
Speaker 4 (03:09):

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Hold on the crackhead or the runaway, the runaway.

denim jacket, a pack of smokes, maybe a little malmourished.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
And while I think you got yourself, are you telling
her she looks mel nersed? I'm saying, maybe, well, you're
very very well. What you're saying, Oh my god, you
know you are you saying? Are you saying she needs
to lose a few pounds if she wants to play
the runaway? I'm not saying that. Maybe a little you know.
