Cruise Ship Audition

by

I just auditioned for a cruise ship and I think it the worst submission I have ever done. I am going to include the video on this blog, but I am totally going to take it down as soon as the casting director checks it out. Why is it bad? First of all I did mostly one take for each song. The final song, “Falling,” was my worst clip. I didn’t have time to check the video (we were closing “Christmas Carol” on the same day of shooting). When I looked at it later, I almost died from laughter. I had only captured myself from my chin to my waist. Hialrious! I knew I wouldn’t get another chance to film that with the pianist, so I made the clip shorter and tried to crop it a little, so it would show less cleavage. I hardly performed the songs because I was looking so closely at the lyrics. I really didn’t know what I was gonna do until we started to record. Overall, I am not proud of this video audition. I was way, under-prepared and could have done a lot better for myself if I had more time. Oh, well. At this, point, it was the best I could do in that situation. Whatever happens at this point, happens.

    I’m a Woman and All that Jazz are STANDARDS. This sounded like the first time you sang them?!? Why the rush?! That’s so not like you! Ironic that you sounded really good on “Falling”, but that was the “botched” clip!
