Little Miss Multicam

Multicam auditions and single camera auditions are two verrry different things.

"Two and a Half Men" vs "The Office"
"How I Met Your Mother" vs "Modern Family"

very. very. different comedies.

Lately, the trend in development has been toward single cam shows, so it's hard to jump back on that laugh track bandwagon, where they want you to hit those technical comedic beats, and be so "on." Not jazz hands on, but as close as it comes for scripted television.

So, my advice when you have a multicam audition:

COFFEE.

That good old fashioned, energy boosting elixir that allows you to go into that room as the most fun, high energy, zany version of yourself. That bookable version of yourself. That "dance monkey, dance" version of yourself that in an uncaffeinated world feels like too much.

Trust me. It works.

I was discussing this with my friend, Janina, who is a highly talented actor, and a comedy booking machine. The girl is funny, folks. And she agreed -- a cup of King's Road (the best/strongest coffee in LA) and you are good to go.

So grab a coffee, and go book it. You can thank me later.
