I hope that your family makes it to soccer practice in time and let them know that I'm still willing to coach as long as they'll work around my hours.

0:04:02 Unknown Speaker #6

0:04:31 Unknown Speaker #1

Chris Richards, who you can hear perfectly well because obviously his brother kept a microphone in the car in case it should ever happen. Well, Chris, if you're okay, why don't you get out of that car? It looks like you need 2 things to learn

0:04:46 Unknown Speaker #5

to get a new car and to learn how to drive? Yeah. But I gotta learn in 1 day. And as you can see, I'm a terrible driver. Well, I can

0:04:59 Unknown Speaker #1

get you inside a new dot soon, with only 185 Mexican miles on it for 29 99, and I can get you learning to drive for 15 32. 0 percent APR on the day. And cut. Cut. Okay. Alright, Willie. How'd you feel? Very good. The woman playing my ex doesn't look exactly how I had described, but I was able to work with it and be in the moment.

0:05:33 Unknown Speaker #5

Was that the stunt car that you crashed? There? No. No. That's my real car. Am I gonna be reimbursed?

0:05:41 Unknown Speaker #2

0:05:46 Unknown Speaker #6

we tried at your way once, and I gotta say, I think it was a little busy. I think it was

0:05:51 Unknown Speaker #1

a little long, and I'd love to do 1 as written. I really would. What did it did it feel long? I mean, it's a 30 second spot. So IIII would think we had to run a little longer. It's not a 1 of the fifteens.

0:06:04 Unknown Speaker #6

Right. Well, I mean, you can You'll probably

0:06:05 Unknown Speaker #2

be able to cut it down in post not to jump in here. I know I just Thank you, Mark, and Greta. Yes.

0:06:12 Unknown Speaker #6

Yeah. No. No problem. And yeah. You talking to me? Probably

0:09:50 Unknown Speaker #6

Cut. Okay. So we did okay. That was actually pretty good. But you don't have to say cut because you're on camera. I will go ahead and say cut. But that'll be over. That that take was actually pretty clean. Mark, I do want you to decide how you're gonna pronounce your last name. Do you wanna go with Andrade or Adredi? I don't. Just make a choice there. And I think everything was pretty good. Wanna try that 1 again or do we wanna go to another version?

0:10:18 Unknown Speaker #1

I I missed rereading your resume. What was your background again directing? Well, I did a lot of stage stuff.

0:10:26 Unknown Speaker #5

I've done a lot of stuff -- Right. -- stuff -- -- publicity. Explicit stage stuff.

0:10:31 Unknown Speaker #6

Yeah. It's a lot of what we call naked cabaret. But theo

0:10:48 Unknown Speaker #6

Mhmm.

0:10:49 Unknown Speaker #5

Does it have, like is there, like, a band and and and and tassels or anything? It's it's more just, like, productions of death of

0:10:57 Unknown Speaker #6

a salesman but nude. So it's but there's music. There's music. Anyway, it's more experimental. So I'm here mostly to just run camera. I'm not trying to change your vision. I just want to make sure we got what we intend to get. Okay.

0:11:15 Unknown Speaker #1

Well And

0:11:16 Unknown Speaker #6

0:11:54 Unknown Speaker #3

I'm

0:11:54 Unknown Speaker #1

not curious. Yeah. Go ahead, brother. The sound effects that Chris and you were doing into the boom mic of the horny ladies. Is that just 10 Rary, and we'll put some other ones in the edit, or was that what we're gonna go with?

0:12:08 Unknown Speaker #6

Oh, sorry. Were we doing script 2? I thought we were doing script 2. You wanted those. Right? Well,

0:12:13 Unknown Speaker #1

the side effects are great. I just in the script, it said horny ladies and I didn't know that on set, it would be done by the director and the boom operator. I'm just wondering if is it gonna be temporary sound there? Or is that what we're using?

0:12:25 Unknown Speaker #6

In post, we're gonna hire some ladies. I know some ladies from death of a salesman nude, and I was gonna ask them to come do it. Yeah. That's the title of the place. Because

0:12:38 Unknown Speaker #5

because because it's salesman need

0:12:40 Unknown Speaker #2

yeah. Because it's not just the salesman that's nude, because there is a version that's death of a new nude salesman that I've seen before, but this 1 goes

0:12:47 Unknown Speaker #7

a little further.

0:12:47 Unknown Speaker #6

That's a funny 1. Now this is -- Yeah. -- this is more sexual. Everybody's nude, but it is word for word verbatim, death of a salesman. Right. And then at the end, they do voulez vous couchet.

0:12:58 Unknown Speaker #1

Oh, way to marble up. Yeah. At

0:13:01 Unknown Speaker #5

the end, they No. No. They do vous les but bouche. Yeah. Which I've seen it. I've seen it? Me too. It's very good.

0:13:09 Unknown Speaker #6

It's very good. Okay. If we're done questioning my credits, I would love to just move on to the chicken scratch dream version, if that's

0:13:16 Unknown Speaker #1

okay. Let's do the chicken scratch dream version.

0:16:44 Unknown Speaker #5

I fell through the ceiling of the audition room. Has

0:16:49 Unknown Speaker #1

this ever happened to you? You were walking somewhere because you don't know how to drive and don't have a car that you fell right through the ceiling. Well, I could solve both of those problems for you at Willie Henderson's exit 42, car dealership and training school. This injured man here would have never fallen through my ceiling if you knew how to drive which he could learn in 1 day from me and my friend, a certain race car driver

0:17:15 Unknown Speaker #2

you might recognize. Hi, I'm me. Mark, Aljandro. I am a funny

0:17:24 Unknown Speaker #3

car racer

0:17:25 Unknown Speaker #2

who has won lots of different titles. I didn't know how to drive. Until I came down here to my buddy, Willie Anderson's auto dealership. And the time that I by the time I left, I was a award winning chef. I mean, auto racer. I had a great time to this this is a little wordy. You want me to take anything out? I feel like I have added a lot.

0:17:51 Unknown Speaker #1

Keep rowing. No. That's perfect. Thank you. Okay. And that was my monologue. Thanks for watching. This was me doing a monologue. My perfectly naked body? Uptown. Those are real nipples. Not slices of zucchini.

0:18:08 Unknown Speaker #6

And cut Well, and substitute too. Go ahead and And pull pulling

0:18:11 Unknown Speaker #5

pulling out. Sound cuts. Yeah. Wow.

0:18:15 Unknown Speaker #6

Thank you sound for all the extra description of what you're doing for sure. We really appreciate where the boob mic is going. I am a little worried about the recording is going.

0:18:25 Unknown Speaker #1

A little worried the audio is gonna pick up throughout the take that he's describing what he's doing with the mic throughout.

0:18:31 Unknown Speaker #6

I'm a little worried about that too. I'm not I'm not actually used to film sets.

0:18:36 Unknown Speaker #5

We're losing light.

0:18:38 Unknown Speaker #1

Well, so that was my that was my option. Now that you've seen it on the unlossed tape. How'd you like my monologue? I

0:18:44 Unknown Speaker #6

gotta say the audition was great. Unfortunately, the production has run its course, so it doesn't apply to auditioning. But I will say, you got a pretty good commercial already.

0:18:55 Unknown Speaker #6

didn't know that here

0:18:55 Unknown Speaker #2

Yes. I

0:18:56 Unknown Speaker #4

i think we got

0:18:57 Unknown Speaker #6

was the commercial.

0:18:58 Unknown Speaker #1

Well, my audition was a retelling of the commercial. I was acting out a commercial that already existed. I can't we can't re air the same commercial is not We can't just read

0:19:09 Unknown Speaker #2

the No. I mean, the we

0:19:10 Unknown Speaker #1

re aired the recording we just made of the elementary school VCR of the audition of the commercial? Well, it's interesting. And it'll it'll get people going,

0:19:22 Unknown Speaker #1

get them to lean in. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. I am feeling a little concerned that this is not a race car driver I've hired and that it is somebody pretending for a paycheck. III have sign your paychecks to cash, and you haven't remembered your name now ever.

0:19:22 Unknown Speaker #2

it'll

0:19:38 Unknown Speaker #2

Hi. My name's cash. Can you sign my paycheck over And at a 0, please. Willie, I don't

0:19:44 Unknown Speaker #1

think this guy is from that race family. I think this is just a guy. I I in that did you see in the audition I think at a certain point he thought he was Mario batali because he said he was a chef at the end. I think so too.

0:19:59 Unknown Speaker #6
