Don't wear flip flops to a car commercial audition unless specifically told otherwise.
EVER
I went in for this spot last Friday that mentioned "summer dress casual" on the wardrobe. Get there and every girl is dressed up in what I would call a date-style summer dress look, not the casual bright summer frock and gold flip flops I had on. Oops. So I go in with another guy and even though it was the first call there was a producer or some other decision making person in the room and wow, she could barely contain her disgust at my look. OK, I didn't think I looked all that bad and really do you not have any other imagination beyond what I have on Miss Stick-Up-Your-Ass? Here's the thing with that, even if the actor who walks in the room isn't what you are looking for TRY your best not to be a total bitch as it turns out some actors are really sensitive and might take it the wrong way. At this point in my career I have been in every type of room and at this point I rarely let it get to me since my philosophy is to impress the casting director enough that they keep calling me in and then eventually I will get a booking.
But, lesson learned, no flops for a car audition. From now on it's all heels.
