A trap was laid in the name of an audition (Jamie Lever audition)

Jamie Lever told in an interview how she was cheated. In the early days of her career, Jamie used to manage the work herself, she did not have any manager. One day she got a call from an unknown person, who told her that he was associated with a big project. During the phone conversation, the person told her in a very professional manner that they wanted to take auditions for an international film.

Video call audition and script denial

Jamie was told that the audition would be held on a video call, where he would talk to the director. The surprising thing was that he would not be given a script. Jamie was sent a link, on clicking which his camera turned on, but the person in front kept his video off. He did not turn on his video, saying that he was traveling.

Irresponsible demand in the name of a bold character

During the audition, Jamie was told that she was being cast for a bold role in which she had to act to impress a 50-year-old man. During this, she was also asked to take off her clothes. Jamie objected and asked where the script was, then the other person again said that there was no script, she could do whatever she wanted.

Protect yourself wisely

Jamie became very uncomfortable with this unexpected demand. She clearly said that she was not comfortable with such an audition. Despite this, the person in front of her tried to convince her again and again, calling it her big opportunity. Jamie immediately closed the video call and freed herself from this mental pressure, later Jamie realized that if she had agreed to the person in that audition, her video could have been recorded and she could have been blackmailed. She said that even today when I think about it, I am scared that what would have happened if I had not taken the right decision. Jamie says that she had faced such an incident for the first time while living in Mumbai, before this she had only heard the stories of others.

Casting couch and the reality of film industry

This experience of Jamie Lever shows that no matter how big a name someone is, the danger of casting couch and exploitation remains constant in the film industry. In such a situation, it is very important for new artists to be cautious and not fall into the trap of any unknown person. Jamie saved herself from this disgusting trap with her wisdom and courage. Sharing her experience, Jamie Lever has given a message to other artists, especially women, to be alert, vigilant and self-reliant.
