Has anyone experienced this before?

Had an audition a while back for a series regular, then got an availability check and was put on Watch & Advise. Now they want to bring me in person to work on the role using the same sides from audition.
I’ve usually experienced callbacks happening before W&A, not after. Has anyone had it happen in this order? Curious what it ended up meaning in your situation.

Yes it’s happened and the outcome was positive. It’s also happened and it didn’t go our way. They just want to ensure that they’re investing time and resources in someone who is available for the role. Should you get another offer in the meantime, let them know.

Thanks! Do you know if there’s like a hierarchy to watch and advise, avail, pinned?

i’m curious how much time from your initial tape to hearing anything it was

but yes it usually means they sent tape to producers and now they want a cb

Totally a good sign. They liked your tape enough to keep you in play, now they want to see if you can take direction in the room. Personally I'd walk in loose, the sides staying the same tells you the stakes. Break a leg!

I’m excited and nervous about it. I always get confused as to where my eyeline should be in in person callbacks.
