props to preparation
yea so on the way home from school today i started thinking. i know that the character of dorothy has been a big issue to some people in our 4th block. i also know that everyone has made their comments in regards to it, including me. in fact i said something today.....so dont think this is an "i'm innocent" post. but i was thinking about the ( Read more... )
i dont really care what the cast list ends up being.
i agree with you though. i totally think that someone with talent should get the role over someone who prepared if they are more talented. and to be honest, i prepared my music with my voice teacher but the first time i read through my monologue was in front of campbell. i didnt mean for it to sound like i thought i should get the role...or caroline should get the role....because we prepared. like i said i dont care about the cast list, i was just thinking about that on the way home. the only reason i prepared was because i didnt think that campbell knew my FULL potential as far as singing is concerned and i thought i might get a better part if i worked harder. (my choice) i am one of those people who gets nervous only if i am un prepared. i dont know. its so easy to explain all of this to dm...who i was discussing the whole thing with, because he understands my view, and agrees with me. its too hard to sit down and type out. but it doesnt matter. i would just like to get all this drama crap concerning auditions over with. i think a lot of people are stressed because of uncertainty issues (not nessecarily you) i think things will settle once practice begins...hopefully...
i really hope that yall wont think i am awful because of this post. this is a journal and thats how i was feeling. i dont know. UH!
i am not mad at you or ben because everyone will have an opinion about this one.

But I would like to think campbell's audition is important. The man isn't all-seeing all-knowing about all of his students, that would be nigh to impossible. (Though he is freakishly amazingly smart and calculative and can multitask like a demon.) Not to mention all of the people who auditioned for their first time; there could be alot of undiscovered talent there, and that needs to be considered for there to be an excellent show. He also has to see how peoples voices sound, yada yada... I do understand what you are saying about how auditions are not serious, and you are right when you compare it to something like auditioning for Community Theatre. In relation to that, Campbell has personal knowledge of alot of the applicants of this show and that will factor in to his decision making. So I am sort of disagreeing and agreeing with you here.

I think it's a sad thing because it dilutes the performance...
Theatre isn't this hierarchial totem pole where if you are a senior you are guaranteed roles or that a "chorus" role is necessarily the bottom of the said totem pole. I have digressed this topic to the ends of the earth, someone stop me please.
