"God I hope I get it..."
Something that Sanford Meisner talks about in his book is the importance of experience. It is crucial that actors attempt to gain as much theater experience as possible if they hope to grow and improve at their craft. This involves taking up any job opportunities or internships in the theater world, working as crew or in a backstage aspect, and most importantly, auditioning as much as possible.
So, in a very spur of the moment decision, I decided to follow Sandy's advice and go audition for something. I received an e-mail on Friday about an audition for a local conservatory, and by some miracle I managed to show up on Saturday and put on a decent audition. Although I must admit I was a tad nervous, the audition was actually very laid back. The owners/directors of the theater company seemed to like me a lot, especially my singing, and they said they would love to have me for an advanced scene study class they'd be starting soon. They also told me that I'd be great for some of the productions they'd be putting on this year, which really flattered and excited me. I'm so glad that I'm going to get the chance to get some more experience, and it's all thanks to Sandy! ;)
And so, I'll close this week's blog with another quote from the book (I decided to make this a weekly thing):
"You know, it's all right to be wrong, but it's not all right not to try."
