Life after WVTC's
Well, I can chalk one more failure/rejection up on my list o' life. I really hate this business. I really really do. It just doesn't seem fair. Why do I have to love theatre and performing so much? I wouldn't choose to if given the option, but I wasn't. The whole process of auditioning, especially mass auditioning, just seems like an awful form of torture. I use to look at auditioning as one more opportunity to perform for people, but now I look at it as a waste of 2, 3, 4, 5, or, in yesterday's case, 26 hours of my life. What do I have after 26 hours and $70 of my own money? Any new experience or advice? No. Just one more group of people telling me no. I haven't gotten a 'yes' from an audition (sans school) in over a year, and that was just for a callback. Not that I've been able to audition much, but that's not helping either. I could handle 100 no's in 50 days if I could just get one yes in there too. One person to say 'You haven't been getting rejected because of you, you're been getting rejected because you weren't right for the part.' *sigh* Sometimes I get really scared that I'll never come near my hopes and goals for my career. But, we must press on, yes? I mean, there's no chance of my giving up on acting, so I might as well not get too down on myself. I just need to keep working and learning (and getting out of the negative area that is this school would help too). Good luck to me!
