I went to a commercial audition for a brand I had looked up that showed they loved over the top comedy. When I went in the room we were supposed to be quirky neighbors in the neighborhood. I was the nosy next door neighbor. We were all supposed to be jovial and happy but I took it to the next level with joy. After the first go round the casting director gave me a note to not be so over the top. We did it again and I did the same darn thing, I couldn't snap out of it! The third take I was like okay I'll tone this down this time. For some reason I got stuck and went over the top again! I left the room with so much energy and realized they wanted it to be rooted in reality more than being over the top. I didn't book the job but learned when I should use that energy and when I should leave it at the door.
