Hello everyone! Well, the good news is that I did not leave the theater in tears :) I actually left smiling--hooray!
The whole experience was very nice. We waiting out in the lobby and then went in groups of 5 to stand off to the side of the stage and audition. It all ran very smoothly, and the people who were running it were very nice.
Of course I was nervous beforehand! Especially because I'm still dealing with gunk in my lungs. I had some trouble falling asleep last night because I kept coughing... but I had enough adrenaline running through my body to keep me awake for the audition! Going into the audition, I was more worried about my monologue than my song, but I ended up doing very well on my monologue... and only so-so on my song. Again, because of the sickness, my voice was a little rough, so it just didn't sound as smooth as normal--but I hit all the notes and acted my way through it! I was really grateful that I didn't have a coughing fit on stage, and in reality, I don't know if they could tell that I was sick or not--they may just think I can't sing so well :) But that's okay! I still feel pretty good about the whole thing. I wanted to do the best that I could do, and while there's always room for improvement, I was very happy with what I did!
So now the wait begins. There are some callbacks for out of state companies this afternoon, but seeing as I don't really want to work out of state (I need to get established here!), I'm not going to be too bummed if I don't get called back for those. Other local companies will call me at some point, but it will be different for each company. And, actually, I'll only get called if they want to see me again. So there's a possibility of no calls.
But, putting things in perspective, there were about 300 auditioners, and I was simply one of them. Hopefully something about me stuck in some minds, but regardless, I've officially completed my first of many auditions to come! So I feel like celebrating! Well, I actually feel like taking a nap--I'm exhausted!
Bye for now!
