An Interview with Kayla on the Road to Austin for a Commercial Audition

Marketing Dynamics had the opportunity to interview Kayla on the way to a commercial audition in Austin.  Road trips are an excellent time to prepare for the audition - "road rules" apply (i.e., junk food, adventure, loud music, yelling, screaming, and laughing). 

Kayla's day included getting up early for a hair appointment to straighten her hair, reviewing a web article on the casting director, getting her headshots and resume updated on www.CastingNetworks.com, breakfast at Burger King, gassing up at Race Way in Houston, and reviewing the audition details for the client on the road.  Of course, Kayla had plenty of music to listen to on her iPhone iPod. 

The family wound up staying the weekend at www.CasitaDeCruzita.com (vacation rental in College Station) owned by her Nana, where they prepared to celebrate her sister Kenna's birthday with their cousins on Sunday.
