Acting audition
I am so happy that we are finally almost in the midst of the spring. This is my favorite time of year because the weather is changing, the days are getting longer, and it is just about time to start doing acting auditions for next year. Our school does all of its casting calls and theater auditions for its fall programs in the spring so that the students who are sticking around can get right to work over the summer, and they actually get more parts because of this. So in about three weeks I have my first set of auditions for two programs, one in the theater department, and one for a club. I am not an acting major so I can really only pick one if I am accepted to more than that. That's why I try to do as many auditions as possible so I don;t leave myself out in the rain without any parts for the whole season. I have had this strategy down since I was a sophomore in high school. I had been doing modeling when I was in middle school and was totally used to the whole audition process. The biggest difference was this whole idea of proximity and not waiting until the last minute to try out for just one part which you never get if it's the only one. That year I did just that and had to wait until the fall to try out for spring plays and that went a little bit better because I had learned the ropes. The modeling auditions had helped me in a way because I had the confidence to stand up and present myself as an asset to someone else before I ever even tried acting. I hope I get to do this till the day I die, but for now I just have to worry about getting a part and not slacking on my school work. It's always funny when I tell the people who are judging the auditions that I am a computer sciences major because that always seems to floor them all. Maybe that's what makes me so memorable to them now.
