Use of Time while Waiting at an Audition
Who really is a fan of waiting? How should waiting at an audition be any different. For me, I know the chances of me waiting at auditions is very high, so I make sure that I come with tons of things to do. Aside from the usual book, I bring music, monologues to work on, and things I need to write. It is surprising how there is always something to get done.
Many times, there are friends there and I spend most of my time talking/catching up with them. But as the week comes to an end, I just want to turn to my books and enjoy. All the noise from auditions can become less enjoyable. That is why I bring so many things along - I have multiple options and it is very possible for me to get things done.
I believe it is very important for people to get their necessary quiet time. With the way life can get so crazy in New York, many times I make my audition waiting time my quiet time. Why not? There is this huge gap of time. I am in a building and brought my headphones with me. I may have to drown people out with my music, but it works.
When I take advantage of my time at an audition, I stay in a good mood which only keeps me in a good, positive state before I audition.
It doesn’t change the fact that waiting at an audition sucks … but then again, when I get so many things done for myself during that time, was it actually waiting?
