Audition marathon. Ready? GO!!!

So I'm pretty nervous right now, not gonna lie. I have 3 auditions coming up and well... I'm nervous. I am rusty and I need to get my butt into a class or 2 to shake it off, but no time for that now.

Two of those auditions are tomorrow, wow! One is at 6pm, and the other is at 8:15pm. Let me tell you a little about them. At the 6pm audition, I'll be reading for the part of either a ditzy waitress, or one of three friends that are trying to kidnapp another friend. Hrmmm... I have no script and it's pretty much gonna be a cold read. I've been trying my best to get ready for that, everything I read I try and read it as "Actress Val" not normal just reading something Val. I put emotion and feeling into every sentence so I can get used to pulling out the core or the meat of it all. I sound like a loony right? oh well.

At the 8:15 audition, this is where I get to really stretch myself out. I'm auditioning for the part of "Valarie", what do you know? But the what is interesting about this movie is the character is more developed in the male leads daydreams. My audition peice consists of having to be a bitchy snob to a small jazz dance then break into a Mexican hat dance then to a Novela type scene and back to normal time. WTF?? Yea, I'm not nervous about the bitchy snob, it's the dancing where it's gonna be a stretch for me. I know what your thinking? But, Val you love dance... oh yea, you bet I love to dance (and I don't do it well) but what you forget is I'm not playing me. I'm gonna have to act like someone else who's going out of there box and dancing in a daydream sequence. I can pull off the dance spot, as me... but it's staying in that other character is where it's harder. I think I'm gonna work on this one all night. Possibly at a club of some sort, hey I am a method actor. lol.

Audition 3 isn't till Sunday and I haven't been given a time yet. This is the audition that I was originaly excited about cause I haven't gotten one in so long. The female roles are pretty minor but the storyline I think is really good. Pretty much it's about a guy that goes against a pool shark and loses a bet, and has to find a way to pay his debt. The parts I'm going to read for are the ex-girlfriiend of the guy that loses the bet (she is now dating his roomate, drama!), and also a friend of the guy that loses the bet that has a big crush on him. awwww, que cute.

So I've had a lot to work on this week, and I'm still doing finishing clean-up touches on my monologue, and choreography. haha. Just send my happy thoughts ever so often, good karma and such.

I'll let everyone know how it goes on Friday.
