Arrive/Mingle/Drink Tea oncourtandstage January 12 2012, 15:18:50 UTC

Because, really, at this point the tea was tradition!

Re: Arrive/Mingle/Drink Tea wasthecuteone January 12 2012, 15:36:05 UTC

Ooh, tea. Petra could definitely use some tea.

Re: Arrive/Mingle/Drink Tea whenshewasnice January 12 2012, 16:01:52 UTC

There'd come a point in Natalie's day-long career as a fast food server when she just didn't want to take it anymore. So, she'd swapped her uniform for some heels and weather-inappropriately skimpy clothes, and she'd grabbed her guitar, and now she was here.

Looking way, way confident. And maybe a little like there should have been a wind machine blowing at her.

As if Gabrielle would turn down tea. She'd developed quite the taste for it while in India.

She wasn't really sure what she was auditioning for, but she'd told Jono she wanted to get more involved in the arts on the island, so here she was. Drinking tea, and psyching herself up mentally.

One or both of the directors will provide feedback! You may start with either your monologue or your song. If you need a monologue or a song, one will be provided for you!

[And as much as you can give us to work with, please! The more detail you provide, the better sense we have of your character's skill, talent, and range. :D ]

Re: Audition wasthecuteone January 12 2012, 15:37:38 UTC

Petra took a break from work to go audition, and stepped up to the microphone to say, "Hey, guys, how's it going?" rather cheerfully.

Re: Audition oncourtandstage January 12 2012, 16:56:07 UTC

"Petra, hey!" Troy replied, just as cheerfully. "It's going pretty well, I'd say. Glad to see you out here!"

Re: Audition wasthecuteone January 12 2012, 17:12:23 UTC

"Good! And it's great to be here," Petra said. "So, I'll be singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" from every Liverpool game ever Rodgers & Hammerstein's Carousel today."

Petra pulled herself up, took a deep breath, and began to sing.

"When you walk through a storm
Keep your chin up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark."

Her voice was a slightly husky contralto, steady, strong, and with great feeling and confidence.

"Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone."

And then she waited for the judges' directors' reaction.

Speak to the Directors oncourtandstage January 12 2012, 15:21:45 UTC

Once they are pinged in and assuming the other one is here!

Re: Speak to the Directors oncourtandstage January 12 2012, 15:25:42 UTC

Before, between, and after auditions, Troy was around for all your Troy-like needs.

Also not hungover this time.

[With the brief-and-occasional-SP!caveat mentioned in the OOC note below.]

Re: Speak to the Directors wasthecuteone January 12 2012, 17:00:56 UTC

After her audition, Petra stopped by the directors' table and told Troy, "I also wanted to let you guys know that if you need any help with the costuming stuff, I'm your girl; I'm pretty handy with a needle and thread...glue gun, bedazzler, whatever. I mean I did it unofficially at the holiday thing, but. Plus I have like five boas I'm willing to loan to the cause." Loan. She wanted them back, people.

Re: Speak to the Directors oncourtandstage January 12 2012, 17:06:10 UTC

Well, obviously, because boas. "That would be awesome, Petra!" Troy enthused. "We're getting a bunch of stuff donated from 'Dite's, but that'd be a big help in terms of fitting and stuff. You... really want this stuff to fit properly."

And, hey, the offer of boas really did reinforce that she knew the show's content, which was all to the better.

Billy and the Techs oncourtandstage January 12 2012, 15:23:06 UTC

Which totally sounds like an awesome band name. Get on that, selfhelphero.

For any of those who ping in!

Re: Billy and the Techs randomspanish January 13 2012, 00:11:44 UTC

Freddie had shown up to do his small part in all this. He rather liked auditions, though.

...especially when it was entirely pretty girls. But don't tell Sam, she'd probably through a ham at his head.

Re: Billy and the Techs selfhelphero January 13 2012, 01:44:14 UTC

Billy was here now that the post would load, working on lists of things they'd need, and lists of lists. It was kind of brain breaking and kind of awesome at the same time.

OOC oncourtandstage January 12 2012, 15:24:31 UTC

apocalipped is at work today, but should be around tonight when she gets home, I believe; I will have a couple of brief periods of SP (including one right now, as I run an errand as soon as this goes up), but a) will ping from my phone if necessary and b) will otherwise be around all day. :D

Re: OOC apocalipped January 12 2012, 23:25:06 UTC

I love you guys so much I totally spent two hours battling the crappy re-routed bus system in a blizzard to get home and I'm here and pinging before thinking about grabbing blankets and whimpering into a vat of hot chocolate.
