Unlike my contrary expectations, there is only one judge sitting in front of us, looking at us with a very satisfied expression.
"Where did these two fresh meats come from?" he said, as the right corner of his lips curled into a smug expression.
His expression actually eased my previously tense self.
"Before you introduce yourselves, please sit on the bed to be more comfortable."
As the camera changed its focus to the bed.
First, I find it odd that there's a family-sized bed near the audition, but I just brushed it off, treating it as a prop.
Finally, the moment I've been waiting for: to step into the gate of the entertainment industry.
I assure myself that I will leave the best outstanding impression on the judge holding the camera.
Maybe, just maybe, this is going to be it.
As a smile starts to form on the corners of my lips, I immediately adjust my facial expressions and control my emotions while focusing on the words of the judge.
Finally, he starts turning on the camera and begins the interview with his first set of questions about our names, ages, and backgrounds.
"Hello, by the way, my name is Ethan Jones...."
He also asks about our hobbies and likes/dislikes.
At first, I find the questions somewhat ordinary and plain, considering we are in the middle of the audition.
Then he finally tells Roderick to show us his hobbies on camera.
Roderick immediately agrees.
First, Roderick puts his hands inside his pants and slowly turns to the camera as his hands move up and down with a flirty look.
The moment I witness my friend Roderick having fun with himself in front of the camera, my eyes shake in disbelief.
As he started caressing his penis with soft yet powerful moans.
What can I say? Being a porn addict had its perks.
My mind couldn't comprehend what was going on until I suddenly remembered that being an actor also required having a strong mindset and always being ready for direct bed scenes.
If you want to be a successful actor, you should be good at bed scenes too. At least that's what I thought when Roderick was literally masturbating in front of the camera.
Then the director's camera turned in my direction.
I froze for a while until I finally resolved my worries.
He then told me to jerk off, at least to be more convincing than Roderick.
Just because Roderick was my best friend doesn't mean that I would allow him to get the upper hand in this audition.
The battle starts now.
