A need to dominate

Mar 07, 2005 02:23

Hey all you folks out there in the interweb machine.

Thought I'd let you all know what was up with Jon.

Well since the run of Miracle finished I've been auditioning like mad. I've had 3 auditions for 8 different shows, and been called back for 4 of those shows (One of which is Angels in America part one!). All of them were done as of Saturday.

I had not read Angels in America until I was called back for it, and damn, there's a fine play. I got called back for Roy Cohn, and more than any part I can remember, I want it. I just want that fucking part. It's full of goodness.... well, he's a bastard but you get it.

I don't find out until tues... *grumble*

I don't feel confident enough to start auditioning for real shows yet. Unless I'm able to dominate to a degree in this department, I don't feel I'll be ready. This does mean being more notable than about 350 other male actors, but I am clawing my way to the top tiers. Whenever you go to a callback you see the same people. The same actors the directors want to consider for their shows. I know these people now, and I know I can compete with them. I have assessed some of my failings as an actor, and I know how to become better. I know my strengths, and I know how not to drown in them.

I will succeed in one way or another.

Fuck you, you other 350 male actors.

O_O

I'm feeling really intensely about Angels I suppose. It's something I want to connect with and become a part of.

One day I'll dominate this place (in all of the loud angry characters :P), but before then I should strike out into the real Chicago theatre scene. One step at a time perhaps, I've only been here for about six months. It feels like it's been longer, and it feels like I've been doing nothing.

It's late, I'm nervous, and I'm going to bed.

Talk to you all later

Jon
