Audition Time!

So,now that I am finally moving to New York City I figured it would be a good idea to actually go to an audition. I have not been to one in two years and I may be a bit rusty. Luckily the fact that an audition is a required assignment for my acting class gave me that extra push.

I went to an audition at Riverside Dinner Theater in Fredericksburg. This audition was the worst kind of audition. They took us in six at a time and had all of us take a seat. Then, they called each of us up to sing our 16 bars in front of everyone else in the room.

Everyone seemed to know eachother. The rehearsal director even mentioned that almost every face was a familiar face. Mine was not, as this was my first time auditioning at Riverside. All of these factors added to my nerves, a feeling I was not used to when it came to performing.

It was a pretty rough audition to say the least, but that's what i get for waiting two years in between auditions. At least the whole thing knocked some sense into me. Acting is a craft and you have to work every aspect of it, including the audition process.

It was definitely a good way to ease my way back into the real world of auditioning. Afterall, this was just small town local theater. If I am nervous here, New York will eat me alive. I think I may need to go to a few more Riverside auditions before I go play with the big dogs in NYC.
