Audition Anxiety

I’m telling you that auditions were created solely for the purpose of striking fear into the heart of man and keeping him humble.

Actually, I wasn’t as afraid as usual at this audition. I knew the director really well (she’s like the coolest teacher ever) and my monologue came really natural to me (good thing too, because I memorized it 10 minutes before the audition). When she called my group in a had a few butterflies, mostly because I hadn’t run the monologue past my mom (she’s wonderful at telling what I’m doing wrong).

I had to go first. I got on stage and gave my slate:
“Hello my name is Enna Isilee and I will be doing a piece from 'Blink of an Eye' by Jeremy Dobrish and I will be portraying the part of Celeste.”

I stepped back and began the monologue. I was a little fidgety and my blocking wasn’t that great but I think I did okay. My biggest error was that I think I was too fast, and I was stuck in a southern accent, but that wasn’t too bad. I didn’t come even close to getting the monologue word-for-word but it didn’t really matter ‘cause she’d never read it. And I didn’t hiccup at all.

Callbacks will be posted tomorrow morning! And then if I make it I’ll try-out again in the afternoon.

Eeps!
