Anyway, the format was cold readings and the part I was reading for was an Irish priest so I had to pull my Iish dialect out of my a**.
The interesting thing about this particular audition was that the auditioners were nervous. I'm sure that it was because they were students and this may well have been the first audition that they were conducting on their own, but it was strangely comforting. Because of their nerves they became human and not figures to decide my fate. As a result, I was able to walk away from the audition that I felt ambivalent about and do just that--walk away.
On to the next....
Lara was kind enough to set up auditions for us with a friend of hers who has a production company that produces both film and theater.And Stephanye and her partner Jeremy were kind enough to carve a bit of time to see us. I did the Insomnia monologue for them and they gave me some interesting direction which I've started to incorporate into the piece.
Today I had a class at one on one that was designed to brush up on screen skills. The class was taught by an old friend named Suzy Savoy. She's never seen me perform and I'd never been in a class that she's taught, so there's that moment where your deeply hoping that you/they don't suck. Luckily, Suzy rocks as a teacher and I did a bang up job with the monologue.
Check it out!

Suzy is kind enough to agreed to sit down with me and allow me to pick her brain. It's my impression that she wants to take me under her wing. Which is pretty awesome!
