The Boards, Wednesday Evening - Auditions!

Sep 25, 2013 08:30

It seemed like damn near forever since Jonothon had held one of these. That was, yes, in part because the Boards hadn't done anything through the summer. It was also because, with Glacia moving at double Fandom's pace, summer had been a long ordeal that had involve a good portion of winter, too ( Read more... )

Lemon water, tea, pastries, mingling. You know the score!

Jono had known she was going to show up, right? Because if he didn't, then Karina was severely over-estimating him.

She took water but didn't touch the food. Who ate things before trying out? Ah well, whatever, it was nice of him to include it. Maybe she'd grab a pastry on the way out.

It's easy. Just get up onto the stage, introduce yourself, and then perform your monologue and your song.

Remember, the more you act it up, the more Jono has to work with while casting you! Be descriptive thorough expressive!

Water gone, Karina hopped up onto the stage confidently.

"Hi," she said, grinning a bit. "I'm Karina Lyle," which she hoped he knew this time around, "and I've got Neva's monologue from Another Paradise."

"Hello, Karina," Jono greeted, smiling faintly. "Good to see you here again."

And prepared! With a monologue all picked out! That made his job easier, which he always appreciated.

"You can get started whenever you're ready, luv."

Of course she was prepared! Like she wouldn't be.

Karina nodded, took a breath, holding it for a few seconds, and then let it out, drawing up her shoulders and carrying herself like she was a Lady with a capital 'L'.

When she spoke, it was with a very fine genteel Southern accent, which was pretty far off from how she usually spoke.

"You see, Ma, it wasn't that I didn't love you. Daddy, too. But I wanted us to be acceptable, Ma." She reached her hands out, like she was talking to her mother and pleading for her to listen, her face open and earnest. "And we weren't." She sighed, turning away and looking down, clasping her hands at her front. "I wanted us to be middle class. Educated. I wasn't ever going to be laughed at again ( ... )

Talk to the Director...s? apocalipped September 25 2013, 11:34:26 UTC
Jono finally sucked it up and asked (or, well, voluntold) someone to help him pull this thing off. His own singing voice is a little rough these days. The extra help will go a long way.

When they tag in!

Jono was not a tea person, no. But Jono was drinking tea all the same, in the hopes that it would soothe his throat enough to help him coach anyone who needed singing help, if only a little bit.

... Barring that, there was his guitar, yes. But... singing voice!

The smell of chai with whipped cream and cinnamon couldn't hurt, could it?

"What kind of people have we got so far?" Kenzi asked, perching on the seat-back next to Jono, and waving his new cup near him. She was slurping a salted caramel mochachino and she was not going to share.

"Girls," Jonothon reported. "Two who are definite show... women. One who'll give it her all and do a good job of it, I'm sure. And one who isn't actually capable of hearing pitch, who'll likely get relegated to a bit part, unfortunately."

He felt badly about that. Being unable to hear was no fault of Zhahar's, but it was going to hurt her chances of landing a worthwhile role all the same.

Maybe making grabby-hands for the cup of chai would help ease that guilt some.

On my list of things to do this morning that includes rearranging furniture and going to work, this one came in top priority.

Going back to bed comes in second, but I can't do that one.

Please, be descriptive with your character's performance of their monologue, so that I know what sort of job they actually did up there. Preference will be given to people who give more for me to work with, so it can't hurt to go through and show how your character acts out the whole thing.

If you don't have a monologue handy, poke me here OOCly or just have your character ask Jono ICly, and one will be chucked at you at random.

Have fun!

And I think I am staying home sick tomorrow from work, so I can ooze over to the laptop and ping, too! So if there are any late birds?
