Be prepared - the story might change

On the callback this evening, the story changed. Now instead of three CEOs around the cooler, we were just three co-workers gossiping about other co-workers, semi-nicely. We told to be positive. The guy going in with me and the other woman said,"She has a tumor." LOL! And the casting assistant who was coaching us said,"That's too negative." So, we went with our co-worker dated Elvis Presley. LOL! We had a great time and it went very smoothly. It was so vastly different than the audition that the recognizable similarity was our suits (of which the guy had none-but he did have a tie and it was his first call in) and the water cooler which was mentioned but non-existent in the audition.

So, when you go in a callback be sure to be flexible and follow instructions, because callbacks are not always like the original audition. Additionally, I often here that copy can change as well. So, be prepared and keep your skills sharp and remain flexible. Flexibility is key for a good actor.
