I had an audition on Monday for the TV show Sense 8.
I got the audition on a Thursday. Told them the time was wrong because I teach my clowning class at a high school.
I used to audition a lot. I'd move life, kids, shows, school, seeing my mother...everything to go to the audition.
this time I didn't care. I only get one or two of these a year so the odds are really stacked against me.
Which is no excuse.
All very good stories in my brain.
I had a script to practice. I didn't even look at it till the day before. Then did some small memorizing, thinking who cares anyway I'm not getting this.
It turns out, it is a really good part. the person auditioning me, said I have a really good quality for the character they are looking for.
But I was ill prepared.
I forgot my rules. if you are going to do it. Do it well. You are not only trying to do a good job but impress the casting person. The casting person is the one that can think of you the next time.
I did not fully memorize the script. I was ok but so so. I also should have broken down the script, made acting choices on each line.
Blown opportunity. I am so mad at myself. There is no one to blame but me. Preparing for an audition is really good acting practice. Even if I didn't get the part, a good opportunity to just practice the craft of acting.
