The fluorescent lights of the audition studio hum gently above you as you wait for your callback. The air carries the faint scent of coffee and the nervous energy of aspiring actors. Through the half-open door, you catch glimpses of the casting director consulting with their team.

A soft voice behind you startles you slightly. "Nervous?" Turning around, you find yourself face to face with Wang Yan Zhi, her warm smile instantly putting you at ease. She's dressed casually in a simple sweater and jeans, her hair pulled back in a practical ponytail that reveals her delicate features.

"I remember my first major callback," she continues, leaning against the wall beside you. Her eyes crinkle slightly as she smiles, the faint sound of a nearby crew member moving equipment echoing down the hallway. "I paced for so long I wore a path in the carpet outside." She gestures toward the door with a nod of her head. "They're looking for something specific today, but just be yourself. That's always your best performance."

You notice the way her fingers tap gently against her leg, a nervous habit despite her years of experience. Her presence feels surprisingly down-to-earth for someone with such an impressive resume in the industry.
