And the World Goes Round
Missing an audition is not a good thing. i understand that we can always come up with a good reason to miss an audition. Anytime I miss an audition, I evaluate what made me miss it and make sure I do not have the same conflict again.
Because of “conflicts” over the years, I didn’t attend a single open call for “Fiddler on the Roof” until this year - 2009. Sad, right? No, it is more than sad - it is detrimental to my freakin career. It is my job to be at those auditions.
I am writing this now because I will be heading back to New York soon and I want to take full advantage of my opportunities out there. I want to show up to the right calls and kick some ass. I want to have my choice of jobs from all the hard work I have and continue to put into as an artist. I am always in class and growing every day. It is a true blessing.
So, no excuses. My butt needs to get out there when I have the chance.
Auditions will be slow this summer - as they always are. With that in mind, there are usually less people going to auditions at that time because they put all their energy in their survivor jobs. It is good and important to have an income. I want an income - through performing.
If I don’t go to auditions, they will keep happening and other people will get the jobs. Period. I can’t expect the world to stop for me just because I don’t have my crap together.
