We all have to lose sometimes.

[ladracul]

I auditioned for a play this week and I didn't get in. This is the first time it's happened in a long time, and for the first time, I'm not that upset. Sure, I was looking forward to it as it would've been the first time I would've been in a play without children around. But still, there weren't many parts for women my age, and there was a lot of fooling around, which I don't think I would've been comfortable with. The only good thing that came out of it was that the director enjoyed my performance, but I'm thinking she just didn't have any place for me.

And that may be why I'm not disappointed. What made me quit the first time is the teacher telling me she didn't think I had any talent in acting, and it hurt. Being a teenager, I just didn't know that people like that could be wrong. Or that I should keep improving despite what others think.

The other reason is that I decided to audition for a paying job if I didn't get in. So I've now requested an audition with the Bristol Ren Faire (You may have seen the photos from past entries... :) ) at the end of the month. And if I do get in, it will have a lot of training to go with it. Which I will gladly welcome. I already had to pass up one for Six Flags because I don't have a proper headshot yet. (And I'm still working on it...) So I hope something will come out of that...

EDIT-I have my audition on Sunday the 24th, so I have plenty of time to prepare. :D
