The Audition........


Sunlite

1,091 views

I went to the audition last night for the play. There were 7 of us there auditioning and 3 people to listen to us read, one being the director. I have never done this before and I felt a little out of place as I was the only first timer there :( . I also found out after I was the only one looking at the script for the first time as the others had known about this audition for at least a week if not longer and had received copies ahead of time :) . I had no clue :( before Saturday night that it was being held and to say I felt a little out of place was putting it mildly. The script had lots of directions written in-between the lines and it took a bit of work trying to figure out what I was supposed to read and not read :) . One of the characters was an actress who was involved in a scheme and was portraying 4 different women giving her 5 different characters in one, and I had to read for this :) , I was so confused :( . Each character she portrayed required a different voice and well, lets just say I am not very good at remembering who has to be what voice, lol. We'll see what happens :lol:

When I was leaving though just after 9pm, the snow had been coming down for awhile and there were whiteout conditions. I will tell you, that unless you've experienced it, it is not something you can ever fully understand. I was so scared driving home, thankful that I had only about a mile and half to go. There was just like a wall of white blowing at you and you could not tell where on the road you were driving :) . There were no tire tracks to follow, you could not decipher the shoulder from the road or what side of the road you were even on. Visibility was less then 10ft and thats being generous. Of course about 10 minutes after I got in, the snow had stopped :( and I heard later on that night we received 3 1/2 inches in 45 minutes, all complementry of Lake Ontario :)

Well, you are so brave to venture into something that requires so much. I think it's a great experience, but for me, I can't even do karoke...I'm glad you make it home safely...you need to move out west and leave that snow behind.

Well Sunlite, you did it!!! Thats saying alot right there.. Don't be hard on yourself, takes alot to go out there and do something, like that, for the first time. I think its wonderful.

So glad you made it home safe. So weird to hear you are having so much snow and we had record breaking weather. It was 76 today...suppose to be 88 tomorrow. So our Spring is on it way hopefully.

:aktion033: You are soo brave! I could NEVER do anything like that! I've got my fingers crossed that you'll get the part you want. Even if I could muster up enough courage to stand in front of people I don't know how I would remember my lines? That to me is just awasome that you can do that! I have been driving before during whiteout conditions w/limited visibility. Whats even more scary are the cars behind you, you're worried the whole time that your going to get your ass end reamed! :P

Well I have just heard.............. I got cast for a saloon girl, :buddies: ! Should be fun as my part will have a very minimal of lines but I will have to sing lots, I can't carry a tune :blush: but I'm supposed to be part of the comic relief. I don't know if I mentioned this but it's a melodrama, kind of like a Dudley Do-Right Comedy. :lol:

Congrats! We will be looking for the reviews of the play! When does it start and is it a one night stand (so to speak) :P or is it on for a while?

Enjoy yourself and consider it another challenge! :D

It doesn't start till May, it will be held during the first 3 weekends of May. Only conflict I have is I'll miss the Penfield Idol contest my youth group puts on :( . I do consider it a challenge as I have never done this before, should be quite interesting :P !
