Home and Away star Tammin Sursok on ‘life-changing’ moment

 

She’s come a long way from Summer Bay.

Tammin Sursok, a former Home and Away star, talked openly about her “life-changing” audition for a major American TV show.

She became well-known in Australia after playing Dani Sutherland in the well-liked Channel 7 program.

Sursok relocated from Australia to the US in 2004 to pursue new acting and music chances after leaving Home and Away.

She made the decision to concentrate on chasing TV and film opportunities in 2005, when her album Whatever Will Be swiftly fell out of the charts.

She played Colleen Carlton on the daytime drama The Young and the Restless from 2007 until 2009. This was her first major role.

Other parts followed, including those in Hannah Montana and the television musical Spectacular!

She had a significant breakthrough in the US with her portrayal as vision handicapped adolescent Jenna Marshall in the teen mystery thriller Pretty Little Liars.

Sursok now claims that getting the job was a turning point in her life.

She recalled her audition, which was really for the role of Spencer, as being “very nervous,” according to Yahoo Lifestyle.

“I considered that to be the worst audition I had ever had.

After that audition, I called my spouse and announced him I was giving up acting.

Which demonstrates that you are completely unaware of your true emotions because they were positively received throughout the audition.

And while they had me in mind for the Jenna job, they didn’t think I was the proper fit for the Spencer role.

The first episode, which broadcast in June 2010, attracted 2.47 million people. Sursok re-auditioned for Jenna, and the rest is history.

Everyone involved experienced strong emotions as the event came to a conclusion, the actress claimed.

She claimed, “My (last) scene wasn’t in the climax.”

“If I had been there for the finale, I think it would have been incredibly emotional. I know all the girls were there, and everyone was quite emotional, which is what we would expect from something that has been on for seven years and has changed all of our lives,” she said.

They had to go on to the next scene as Sursok’s character entered the stage on a horse in her brief closing moment, she recalled.

I was quite emotional, but I believe that everyone just needed to rapidly move on.

But overall, I believe that as I left that evening, I felt really reflective and thought, “Wow, this has totally transformed my life.

“You spend your whole life waiting for that big break, and what Home and Away did in Australia for me, Pretty Little Liars accomplished in America.”
