Auditions

Today I had my audition for the mainstage play. The auditions were amusing because I almost the only experienced person there, and everybody else was so nervous and it was funny. When people do auditions they do funny things, like lift their legs in the air. And that last thing could totally be interpreted as a sexual reference, shutup Kolyn's stupid male brain that turns everything into a sexual innuendo. But anyway. It was really funny seeing all of the auditioneers doing their things because most of them were doing their bloody isms. And Rebekah got to be a Pastor (quick, hide from Sarah Beth or she'll be after your blood) for her audition when they modified it. And I did my audition as a valley girl because they told me to. I will have to do that again tomorrow to show SB and Ozon and the peoples because it was bloody amusing.

I think the craziest thing is realizing how much more confident I was now doing the audition than I was two years ago for Infanta. Back then I was all nervous and scared and unable to remember my monologue and I really didn't see myself getting to callbacks, let alone getting a part; and yet there I was, Carlos the Count of Tierra Nueva. Fuck that play was amusing, it was so horrible, and everybody did such a great job, with the angry Don Pedro and the immobile pages and the Dwarf and the special guest appearance by Mrs. Mckeown as the flaming, dancing imp. It was all so magical. Doing that play made me feel like an actor.

And now I'm still feeling the after effects of that, I still feel like an actor, and now I don't have issues with being nervous (didn't really last year for The Tutor either, too bad Rebekah and Kiora didn't see that, although that's mostly my fault). And apparently Lauren was nervous for her monologue and SB gawked when somebody mentioned that she thought it got easier with experience. And yet with very little experience I feel like I'm a theatre person. I've rambled for a while now. In conclusion, valley girl acting is funny as hell.
