And the Tears Flow Forth

That had to be the most pathetic audition I have ever given. But then again it serves me right for waiting until the last minute. Jorge was running late coz he didn;t print out his headshots and resumes so he came over here to get it done and we drove over together. I got there super early so I just waited for about an hour and a half. Thank god a good friend of mine was playing the piano so I fel comfortable. But oh no. I wasn;t really that nervous when I got into the theatre, I just wanted to get it over with. I was just not in the mood to audition. I talk to the accompanist about my song and then head center stage. We start and somehow towards the middle, he is about two measures behind me and there was NO WAY I was going to stop or stall. I just kept going hoping he would catch up. Until the key change that is...oh yeah...not fun to be singing in one key while he is playing in another, but it sorted itself out when he got on track. So while i sounded ok and just kept going i know it must have sounded awful because the piano was off. My monologue went ok, some big smiles and chuckles. I think they were trying to be polite because they waited until I was done to laugh out loud. It was not a great audition and it did not suck. I could have done better. But I can impress some of these people at the FPTA auditions in August. I can remember being on that stage and not knowing what the hell was going on. I don;t even think I emoted and God knows my eyes were plastered to the balcony and not on the directors. Eh. We'll see what happens.

Jorge came over after we were done and we hung out and went over of the musicals I was asked to choreograph that he may very well be directing. I was laughing SO hard that I cried about four times because the whole thing was just ridiculous. What started out as a good idea and some nice music degraded into nonsense and repetitive music ALL IN THE SAME KEY. The things you will do for money. He was making jokes; I was making jokes. I definitely needed the laughs after last night's bullshit and my bad audition this afternoon. It put me in a good mood.
