From Jen, MD
My 5 year old daughter was called by the agency to go on an audition 3 hours from home and I turned it down. Will this effect her future chance to go on auditions? How far is too far?
Dear Jen:
Agents never like to hear that their models or actors won’t attend a go-see or audition. However, it is very understandable that you do not want to travel 3 hours from your home. The best thing to do is to let your agent know how far you are willing to travel. Part of that decision is dependant on you and also how well your child holds up with traveling. I would suggest trying to get local work first, After you and your daughter have had more job and auditioning experiences, then start pursuing other markets.
If you ever turn down an audition or go-see, send your agent a note thanking him/her for thinking of you, and to let you know when an audition or job takes place closer to home.
