Oh yeah, she can't hear it.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
I don't think I have headphones.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Oh that's not good.
Speaker 3 (00:14):

Speaker 1 (00:16):
All right, here's some headphones we love. Ava. Of course,
Ava was here when we talked about the cockroach problem
in her apartment. Yeah, we're still not over that conversation.
All of a.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Sudden, I can hear Okay, yeah, okay, let's move on
beyond the cockroach thing.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Ava. So do you do a lot of auditions for
parts in film?
Speaker 4 (00:36):
And I jose I do, yes.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What's that like living in New York City and hitting
the pavement and going to these auditions and and what's
it like?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
It's not the same anymore.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I think we all got to watch like the gorgeous
little interviews of people like being found on the street
at fourteen and then like being who they are now.
Now it's like self tapes. You're like in your close
is it your roommate's reading for you? Everything's online. It's
all a little bit like what do you look like?
Do you look the part? Okay, got it go. There's
(01:09):
no kind of It's not about like bringing your personality
into the room as much as it used to be
until you get like the callback or the second callback
to finally get to be yourself. But the first two
are pretty much like do you look the part? Do
you live nearby?
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Are you union? Do you have an agent?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
So?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Have you had offers to some some comeback offers?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Few?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And what? This is kind of funny because Gandhi was
telling me, you told the story. What makes it so
unique about the parts that you get callbacks for?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, there's a range between like Charlie Chaplin's daughter and
like singing girl in Woods. But the main thing I
get the callback for tend to be either foster children
or drug addicts.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Okay, and I don't I don't have I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
If I don't know, if it looks vulnerable, I must
look like like small.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I'm five to two. I don't know. People maybe see
me and are like, oh no, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
My agent told me I have sad eyes, which I
don't know. Apparently they're sad and maybe it's like the
tragic beauty or like right brooding.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what
a foster child will look like, because it's a whole
rainbow of looks. I was told by Gandhi that the
most things you're called back for are crackheads and runaways.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Yep, yep, that sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
I recently did a self tape where I had to
be well, like, I'm sitting obviously in my closet in
my apartment in New York City, but I meant to
be on a train to nowhere, running away to like
and it's like the self tape is calling my parents
and being like, don't look for me. I'm gonna be fine.
I just I have to go my own way. And
now he's like, what is happening right now?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Also, the girl was like sixteen. I like, I don't know,
I'm doing my best here with what I got.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I could kind of see it, well, hold on the
crackhead or the runaway. The runaway.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I could see you, like, you know, give you a
denim jacket, a pack of smokes, maybe a little malmourished.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, And I'm I think you got yourself?
Speaker 4 (03:25):

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I'm saying, maybe, well, you're very very well. What you're saying,
Oh my god, you are you saying? Are you saying
she needs to lose a few pounds if she wants
to play the runaway? I'm not saying that.
Speaker 3 (03:44):

that make me less white?
