ughhhhhhh. I'm shaking. as I type. God. I hate auditions.
I know, the entertainment industry is a bitch and is never fair and all actors deal with it and I should get used to it and blahdy blahdy blah, but this is my blog, buwahaha.
My auditions were today, and I have no idea how they went....I feel that I read emily well but I have so much competition for that role, and I really like the stagemanager as well, yet I was more nervous and possibly more flustered.
I cannot express how much I want a lead in this show, especially emily. Never have I had the opportunity to be that character that reaches and moves the audience, I've always been a supporting role or humour lead. And if not now, when? THis is the perfect play for a moving and captivating role.
And I may have destoyed my chances.
I read well for emily, but did I read better than everyone else? and How about type casting? I'll never look like the engenue....
What kills me are the kids that don't care what role they get, or much worse, complain about the part they read even though other actors would kill for that role, and despite that they don't like it, they'd still take it.
I know, I know, the nature of the beast. Auditions will always be a sucky, stressful cesspool where I blow my chances on nerves and second guessing. I'm not sure this will be more different
And this is my only chance.
Charlie Brown is a musical. I do not have one of the 6th best voices in the theatre department. Hurray.
THing is, since fifth grade, as lame and horribly cliched as this sounds, I've been excited about upperclass roles and the seniority privleges- i.e. getting lead roles-assuming that'd I'd be working my way up.
But I don't know how seniority will play into this, if at all. Which absolutely sucks, considering I dealt with it all this time and finally when normally it would play to my advantage, it doesn't.>
So yeah, my parents will be pleased too when I get some mediocre role on account of my flusted audition and lack of engenue persona. Haha.
My dad will be sooooo full of i-told-you-sos and rant that I'm wasting my time on small roles and will hint that I'm really not cut out for performing arts.
He may be right. I honestly don't know anymore. All I know is that bound to br disappointed.
