So, I finally had my “first audition back” and yeah, the nerves were there. Ran my monologue until I could do it while driving and on the elliptical. Funny thing. Two older gentlemen were there, auditioning before me … and they were really nervous! They looked like the kind of professional actors who have been working for decades and have done television as well as theatre. And they were nervous. Which made me a little less nervous. I know, misery breeds company, but the reality of seeing actors with packed resumes feeling a little uptight gave me permission, of sorts, to be nervous, and my thudding heart slowed down, my breath calmed. So, thank you, random actor guys — I think I did better because of you.
