Auditions - 2

of those auditions

• Ads - 2 (self-tapes)

March was another slow one, but again I find myself okay with that.

Perhaps this is a conversation I should be having with my rep, but on the whole I find myself happy with the slower pace of auditions at the moment. I am doing a lot of planning behind the scenes; building my casting director database, tracking my auditions, making a plan for who I want to push for this year, but I also know full well that I'm about to make the biggest purchase of my life and there's plenty to do before that particular ball of stress gets rolling.

At the moment I'm excited for the upgrade to my self-tapes the new house will bring. A dedicated space with better lighting and equipment that I can properly experiment with, rather than just get the tape done as quickly as possible so the living room can go back to normal.

The house really does feel like all I can think about right now, but I'm also really excited for upcoming applications for plays, workshops, and masterclasses. Just being involved in the industry as a participant or learner is exciting. I taught a beginners acting for adults class this week and had a blast. Not a paid thing at all, but still massively worthwhile for me. It let me flex my muscles, see how I'm feeling, check in with myself artistically. I worked on an exercise with them that was one of my favorites, leading a partner around the space by guiding their head with your hand, and it really made clear how out of shape I am. I was thinking about applying for a physical theatre workshop with a company I love in July but I'm having second thoughts now. Not exactly the most encouraging realisations to have about yourself, but I'm glad for the chance to realise them.
