So yeah.
Dear Ben,
Thank you so much for coming to auditions and call backs. Unfortunately, we felt this particular show wasn't the perfect match. We really enjoyed your auditions however and would love to keep you in mind for future shows.
We will be producing and casting 1-2 more shows this year - We'd love to call on you to come back and audition for us.
Warmly,
Blah blah.
It is a nice email on the surface. But the perfect match shit? Wow, you found people that are perfect? A perfect fit for a role? Wow! That's amazing! I thought no one was perfect, but apparently someone is, and you cast them! Woooo!
I sure hope they call me in to audition for midsummer...just for the experience though. I figure an imperfect being like myself who couldn't get cast as any character in a funny, light musical wouldn't have a chance in something as great as shakespeare. I'm just glad that my non friend's natural bad acting is perfect for that role that they offered her.
I completely understand. I really can do only one thing, and if that doesn't fit exactly to what they want, I can totally get behind the fact that there's no way for me to change a character at all into something else. That's what acting's about, being totally immovable in characterization so that when you do get a part, it's perfect, but when you don't, it's because you obviously can't do it.
My response sounds a little more mean here than it actually is. Venting's what a journal's about, right? Truthfully, I am over it, and have already planned 2 more auditions. This one just struck a nerve, obviously. And obviously, they don't know what they're doing.
Assassins gave me the guitar chords they want me to play for the show, and it's an epic endeavour. I'm going to tell them that without someone physically placing my fingers on the strings, I won't be able to do it. I told them from the beginning that my guitar skills were very basic...just like I told them my conflicts, and that worked out fine!
I'm going to see a friend's musical review of his show tonight. It's a show that he wants me to audition for in July. Things are looking up.
HAIR opens this weekend. I'm so fucking excited. I dance like a madman! I'm an excellent dancer.
