Health or Audition?
This is a hard one to choose. I have had this happen to me many times - when I want to go to a bunch of auditions and I am feeling a little under the weather at the same time. This leaves me in a pickle where I really cannot make up my mind. I have been to these great auditions and felt kind of crappy. I have made it through the auditions and recently had a great one despite how crappy I felt. But the next day, I felt a bit worse because I had pushed my body when it really didn’t want to be out. I had to stay home. I could have gone out and ignored my body again, but I didn’t want to get any worse. As far as health goes, I know I made a good decision because I felt a whole lot better the next day. But simultaneously, I did, however, miss some great auditions. I missed out on potential jobs and that really sucks. I am in this career to put myself out there and work as a performer. I want and crave the stage all the time. That’s where I belong and that’s what I truly love to do. Have you ever had to make a tough decision like this? What did you do? Did you end up getting a job? I am so fearful that the one day I chose not to go to audition, I miss out on a gig I would have gotten.
