shakespeare shakespeare everywhere.
the netc's. i bumped into some girls from the burg there (they knew erica my old roommate, pre jeni, pre crazy pops, post danielle) so i sat with them while i waited to be called. it was good because jessie was in there with me (she went first, i went last) so atleast there was a familiar face.
anyway.
i'm amazing.
no. seriously. "soon to be famous" nothing. i literally am amazing. why i EVER decided to give this up is to me insane now. so for all ya'll haters out there (and by that i mean everyone who i told who said "ohhh, you're doing...acting?") fuck you. FUCCCCCCK you.
i got 6 callbacks. SIX! SIIIIIX. more than 5 less than 7. right in the middle there. hi 6. i love you. let me describe for you my next hectic hours:
445-national theatre for the arts and education--bethany CT
i walk in and they're like "yo can you speak espanol?" and i'm like "yo, hablo espanol en high school" and they were like "good. read this script RIGHT NOW in spanish." and i was all...ugh.....
first off, i'm not a great cold reader and secondly, a cold reader in a language i haven't spoken in almost 4 years? yeeesh. i don't think i'm getting another call from them.
510-Carter Thor Studios Los Angeles--boston MA
the two guys were super hot. this is one of the prime reasons that i'm considering giving them 200$ to make me into a film actress. it's my birthday weekend, so that absolves me from having to see people. i'm contacting them tomorrow because i want this to be my birthday present from my dad. everybody loves a weekend worshop. and everybody loves dreamy boys. plus they're casting for roles for films in the boston area. 1-5 line speaking parts. NOT extra parts. extra acting=bad, speaking lines=good. devon martin, film actress?
515-Peterborough Players--Peterborough NH
they had me read with this other kid, and this kid read like...97 times with like 5 different people. and they kept complimenting him and giving me bit parts. they made me re-do one of my monologues, and i did, and after telling HIM he had a gloroious acting coach, they just said "you're really funny." anyway, i was ignored, and i'm a star, so i hate them.
530--Hangar Theatre--Ithaca (!!!) NY.
actually, since the sucky peterborough ran late, i missed this one. but i gave them my head shot, and my resume and they gave me some info and said contact them if i was intereseted. the girl that called me back said "oh my god! you're amazing, i loved your audition. i'm from shrewsbury, i saw you went to school in worcester!" i'm going to read the stuff they gave me and think about if i'll contact them or not. i probably will, because it couldn't hurt. anyway, i didn't realize you had to pick the places you wanted to call back to. and not get to go to ALL your call backs. that's not really that fair.
630--Missoula Kids Theater--Missoula MT (call back 1)
this is probably the company that's going to hire me. yes, kids i'm moving to Montana. in june. probably. there are lots of things i like about this and lots of things i don't like. in this first meeting, we learned that we get to act/direct kids plays. they're touring companies. you and one other person drive around the country spreading the love of theatre.
900--Hampsted Theatre--Barnstead, NH
this is my DREAM. i also am not getting hired. i mean literally, this place sounds amazing. and literally, he bascially told us we're not getting hired. first off, they only called back like 8 people. then they told me if i was in that room, it's because i did something phenominal today. He kept stressing the importance of not selling yourself short and really being awesome (because i am) and he casts women in parts that they normally coudln't get cast in (ie, hamlet, laetres, etc.) he picked us because we're doing things that other people aren't. (ie not the same monlogue that everyone does.) anyway, i think maybe next year i'll try for this again, keep in contact, etc. this guy however HATES the missoula theatre, but(!!!) he also hates fitchburg state, and when he asked me if i liked it and i said "not one bit" and he said "thank god. i hate it. we'll talk." he said i'm the only person he's EVER called back from worcester state and i've got loads of potential. i wanted to hug this man. he made me feel so talented. fuck you richard macelvain. FUCCCCK you. they're hiring for fall of 2006, so i hope i'm in it then.
930--Missoula Kids Theatre--Part 2
we got more in deapth with what we'd actually be doing, and whatnot. apparently we get paid crap (no shock) and sometimes it's not that pleasant. but, i really think this is the one i'm going to go with, because i really wanted a tour. and it's a childrens show, which i'm so happy for because essentially everything i was called back for was children's theatre. i'll get to direct which is good, and the guy was all into asking me questions and teasing me, which i equal a good time. he asked me what i'd bring to the program and i said "well, i'm funny." when everyone laughed i said "no seriously. i'm really funny." i had to sing, which was painful, but i did it and that's okay.
oh. VATCHE! i saw HEIDI (from midnite) there!! i didn't talk to her, because i wasn't sure she'd remember me, but i saw her. the end.
the best part of the evening, all these callbacks aside, was lynsey came and she waited for me and we had dinner. i tried to tell her how much it meant to me, because she's really one of the only people that's supporting this hardcore. it made my day. just having someone there, y'know? it meant alot. because this is hard. choosing to do this is hard, and having someone there, just to say, good job! or listen to me be this whirlwind of excitment, and have me go over and over my auditions, well...thanks for listening. i LOVE you.
so now i'm going to email bob (haha, he's my reference) and get some number so i can call out my references tomorrow.
it was such a long day, but i think for once, i'm going to be okay. maybe i'll even sleep well tonite.
anyway.
i'm amazing.
no. seriously. "soon to be famous" nothing. i literally am amazing. why i EVER decided to give this up is to me insane now. so for all ya'll haters out there (and by that i mean everyone who i told who said "ohhh, you're doing...acting?") fuck you. FUCCCCCCK you.
