Real or Fantasy

A few weeks ago I was approached by a talent scout from America's Funniest People to audition for it. Turns out that she (the talent scout) got my information from a casting director for AGT for which I was approached to audition for season 19 in 2023. AGT scout emailed me and copied AFP talent scout. AFP scout said in the email that she enjoyed my audition piece from AGT and would be submitting it for consideration for AFP. A week later the AFP scout asked for additional videos and I send her my vent mask video which I thought was good. No answer back. Thinking that maybe this could be a joke I asked AFP scout to do a Zoom call with me to verify. I haven't heard back from her. Also consider that I called the AGT scout to voice a concern as well. Crickets. 

Both scouts are from the shows they claim to be from and their contact information appears to be legit. But why is there a voice inside me that is not sure. I know plenty of people who would love to hoax me but why? They're not asking for money or personal information. Did I ruin any chance I had by requesting a Zoom call with the scouts because I wanted to make sure that they were above board? Maybe I have a hard time believing that I'm good enough to be on national television. The trolls in my life would have a field day with that question. I found that whenever I receive compliments I often deflect because of the way I was raised. I'm going to try harder to stop caring about what others think and stay committed to getting better ever day as a ventriloquist.
