Auditions - 3

of those auditions

• Theatre - 1 (in person)
• Ads - 2 (self-tapes)

February was a little tough, but a few lovely auditions softened the blow.

I should have been working this month, I was working this month, but my recasting from the touring show meant that I was back home with a lot of unexpected time on my hands, and an absolutely battered self-confidence. The last thing I wanted to do was audition, but I was invited back by the director of January's history play to audition for a new project he had coming up with a pretty big theatre. The audition itself went well and , whilst I didn't get the job, I was happy with the work I put into it, and was flattered to be asked in. Unfortunately the project had to be pulled for funding reasons after the cast had been secured. It's deeply unfair that the rug can be pulled out from under people like that, when o many people have already put so much time and effort into these projects by the time auditions start.

The adverts were fun again. I tried to add in my own little spice to the tapes but on reflection I might have strayed too far from what the casting directors were asking for.

With everything going on with the house at the moment, auditions have become a welcome distraction when they do pop up. My partner and I feel like we're in a state of limbo: we haven't left this house yet but the wheels are in motion for us to go, we haven't moved in yet but we're already getting things ready to make the move as smooth as possible. We don't want to start anything new, but it leaves our days feeling a bit hollow.

This update is massively late, but as you can see from the What's New section ont he homepage, we're dealing with enough as it is. This website is more of a fun habit than a disciplined commitment.
