My daughter hasn't booked yet. We got on avail once for a national commercial but didn't book and yesterday for another. What has been your experiance when you get to that point?

It depends. Sometimes everyone who is called back is considered "on avail". Other times if you are notified after the callback then it's usually down to between 2-4 ppl but I dont think there are any hard and fast rules. That's just been our experience. Good luck !!!

Hey, being "on available", means your doing something right! Keep at it, it will happen!

An update...after 4 avails and 50% rate of callbacks my daughter booked Dell and a paid lead in a short film. This was all two weeks ago. I am hoping having two good booked jobs will give people confidence to book her in the future. She had a blast!
