Hello! Had (what I believe to be) a good audition this morning, and something interesting. I was semi-relaxed. A little nervous, yes, but not the shaking terror I have felt in auditions over the past few years. Would love to bottle the reason for this, but can’t quite pin it down. Was it 1) The auditors were welcoming and warm. 2) The audition was in a rehearsal space, which is just easier than a full theatre (I know, ironic). 3) I had worked those pieces a good deal, they felt solid. 4) I’m approaching monologue running differently. Instead of running pieces 10+ times a day, trying to get them perfect, I’m just running everything once a day and letting it be “okay” if some of them just don’t hit the mark here and there. 6) Low expectations. This was a major theatre and I just figure I have little chance of being cast. 7) I just got back from China, am a little tired with a little headcold and had a fair amount of Advil in my system. Pick any or all. Here’s betting I’m a nervous wreck at the next audition!
