God is Funny

So, this audition will definitely not be “the one”. Screwed it up big time. But like I said on my twitter, I hope the casting director does not take that nonsense as an indication of my talent and still asks for me back. Nonsense.

But, as my title says, God is funny. Why, you may ask? Well, just as one is deeply thinking of this profession; of screwed up auditions, of auditions in general, of wanting to book; of not booking; of attempting to make a living with this thang… God blesses that certain someone with: two auditions and a callback. All on Monday.

What?!? God, you’re funny.

But thanks!

This Audition Will Be The One?

I have been auditioning a fair amount, but not booking anything.

Perhaps tomorrow will be different.

I was recently talking with my friend and mentioned that I have yet to audition for a certain two big casting directors (not English, I know) here in the Vancouver area. Well, that changed today. I was booked to audition for a film tomorrow. YAY!

I really want to book.

Pray for me.

Please God!

Oh To Book Something

I know I just started.

And, you know, I am not actually at the point where I am depressed because I haven’t booked anything yet.

Actually, when I audition, and I do my best, I can let it go.

When I was younger, however, I would have killed myself, picking through every second or instance of the audition, wondering what I did wrong. I was always anxious about not being the best. And why things weren’t happening faster.

But I relinquished that. Well most of it. And I am left with just hoping to book. Even one small thing. Or even getting a callback.

I got a callback once for a Rosetta Stone commercial. It was actually my first audition with my agent.

Then they revoked the callback.

Sigh.

But I’m holding my head up high. Taking classes. Doing my best. And PRAYING that I will book something. Soon.

Pray for me too please.

Oh the life of an actor.

When in doubt…

I think I’ve already talked about this.

My tendency to doubt myself. And my exasperation with myself. And with my sometime thoughts that I am not good enough, beautiful enough to pursue my dream to become an actress.

For a split second, I contemplate giving up my dream. Because my “inner voice” works hard to convince me that it will never work out for me. So why waste my time?

But then something always happens. I see something, hear something, someone tells me, God tells me… Something happens to make me realize that my dream is worth having. That it is worth the fight. That I can be something. And it should be fun just to even try.

Something reminds me that I should not give up on my love.

This time, it was a video on YouTube. Of Hugh Jackman and Beyonce and a few others.

Nothing too special, but watching it reminded me that I would love to do what they are doing. Performing.

And whether or not I make it to that level, performing in front of that many people, I know I’ll love it. And I will love the journey.

This “inner voice” needs to be silenced.
