First College Auditions Ever

well guys, I did it. I seriously almost chickened out and didn't go, but I ended up auditioning for two shows today. the first was some Halloween show put on by a theater club on campus. I had to memorize a dramatic monologue for this. The memorizing wasn't too hard, and neither was actually doing it, but I just got so nervous. I  totally started shaking haha, which now that I think about it is SO embarrassing. but hey, I did it at least! The second audition was for "the Christmas Miracle of Johnathan Toomy" which is going to be a musical based off a book with lots of original music. I guess people in the theater department have been working on this show for the  past two years, totally crazy. we did some "movement" auditions, which wasn't dancing...I'm not exactly sure what it was, but they had us walk around different ways and speeds and do weird poses and stuff, it will be interesting to see how that translates into the end product. we also did some singing auditions where they called us all in one by one. This was pretty terrifying we also had to sing folk music, so not exactly my comfort zone there. but i did it, my voice was pretty wavery but they were all really nice and said I did a good job. So, I didn't do super great today, but not horrible. like I'm not thinking I got a part, and wasn't expecting to, but I had fun and it was a great experience. So, I came home, drowned the little bit of sorrows I had in a Twix bar, and now I'm sharing my stressful day with you. But I am definitely feeling great and cant wait to audition for something else!
