After receiving an honor at the Community Theater, she took the advertising audition at the age of 10, "When I was 10 years old, I auditioned for a commercial, singing Anne's 'Tomorrow' in a humble manhattan office, at that age, my resume was unremarkable and no one expected me to be selected," she wrote in her autobiography
However, after months of commercial auditions, she found that advertising wasn't for her, and Kendrick's agent decided that she should audition for a theatrical role, writing: "The audition was held in New York, which meant my parents had to take a leave of absence from work and then drive me downtown for a six-hour drive to an audition that would normally only take ten minutes, and then drive back for another six hours."
