This blog would be a lot better if it had pictures, wouldn't it? I should get on that. I can take pictures. I am sure I can figure that out. Ok, this will start happening. Then maybe I can convince some people to read it. Although I'm not sure I even want to do that.
Callback today. That's nice. It is like a second date, a second chance, but also, a way to hold you up to harsher, more intense scrutiny, and see if you fit in the little box they have decided they might consider putting you in. That sounds more negative than I want it to. Callbacks are great. I like when I get them. I like when I do not suck IMMEDIATELY and have to be forced from the audition room with everyone crying.
It was a very fun one. That's nice too. It's such a good feeling when you're in the room and you're working with people, it moves it from feeling like a try-out to feeling like the work, like you're just people in a room who want the play to be as good as it can be, who want to discover things about a text. That's very invigorating and reminds me of why I like acting in the first place. And when the director is good and has great notes and interesting ideas, specifics and is willing to play, its just a lot of fun. That happened today. That's always good. I also always think it indicates that the director is interested in creating something, and wants to see if he actually likes people, not just whether they can do the given sides, and their own monologues
I really want to have the experience of being a reader or being in the audition room, and get to see a lot of people audition. Particularly girls. Part of this is competitive, yes, but mostly I'm just so so so curious. This would probably mean me writing or directing something. I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Blargh. It would be interesting though....
So now I have to forget allll about that and think nothing of it. Sick.
