Final Show Countdown #12 - The Audition(s)

Updated: Dec 15, 2021

Come on a trip down memory lane as I share some of my favorite work experiences over the past 6.5 years. I have 12 shows remaining, so I'll be posting 12 memories total. Here's number 12.


Here goes: NUMBER 12 – THE AUDITION(S)

The story is just quite frankly too long to write. In fact, I wrote out the entire story when I first got the job 6.5 years ago and if you scroll forever you can probably find it on my work Facebook page. It’s a 2 part series.

Instead of the whole story let’s do some fun facts:

- I auditioned twice for QVC over a matter of 3 years

- First I had to send in an at home tape (it’s so funny aka amateur and I shot it in ONE take!) Photo 1 is from that audition. I presented sculptures and a Keurig coffee machine.

- My first audition was in 2013 and I didn’t get the job. The hosts hired that round were Stacey and Alberti

- My second go at it was in 2015 and I got the job! I was hired with Katie and Mary D.

- Fun Fact – Mary Nelson and I became friends at the 2013 auditions and then she was the hired after me in the next group of hosts

- When I didn't get QVC in 2013 I sent an unsolicited tape to HSN and got an audition in 2014 (2nd and 3rd pics)

- I didn't get the job at HSN

- I auditioned to be a guest for numerous brands on QVC - I didn't get any of them

- During one of my auditions to be a guest (it was via skype), my feed dropped and I thought my life was over. :)

- QVC flew me out to West Chester to screen test for one day in 2013 and for 2 days in 2015

- I told QVC in my second round of auditions that I applied at HSN

- I made a vision board dedicated to getting the QVC job - it worked...it just took 3 years to manifest

- Everything on that board came true!

I agree with others who said that we LOVE that you didn't give up. Why you didn't get hired by them in the first place is beyond me, but when things are MEANT to be, there is no stopping them!!
