Play Auditions @ MindSay 
auditions
Well, the Singing in the Rain auditions went pretty well. They were fun, anyway. I didn't get listed for callbacks, but maybe I'll be able to get a small role? You never know. And the singing part actually went okay!!! Yay!!! ^__^ The only time I ever really sang in front of people using my normal singing voice was for this play audition in 7th grade, which was a disaster. ^^; (Luckily I got to redeem myself later, eheh...) I had a solo last year, but that was an angry head-chopping song. People generally don't sing angry head-chopping songs in high pitched voices, so it all worked out. I can't wait until Tuesday, I believe that's when the cast list comes out. Oooh, I hope I got in.... *__* Anyway. I wrote my act II summary for that Romeo and Juliet thingie (see previous post), but I won't post it here because I did it late last night just to get it over with, eheh. A bit dull. Anyway...um. Not much else today, other than this week was really long and full of homework. Yay for Friday!
Just got back from the cast party a few minutes ago-whoo! I honestly did not believe that the show was going to come together. If miracles happen every day then our play would be it. 2 out of 3 of the ND plays I've been in I've started out hating and ended up loving. (Charlie Brown was the exception--I was sort of indifferent to the whole thing but that was in my angsty depressing freshman year). Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair after all the sweat, tears and blood to only preform it twice. But preforming is one of the things I think I love most about acting, because suddenly everyone is cheering for you and your friends and it's just this really amazing feeling. You can just sort of forget the problems you have or how much the director drives you crazy and just relax and enjoy it. After the curtain closed for the last time on opening night everyone just stood backstage screaming and cheering. Most of us-like me-never thought this play would come together.
And of course we always must have a cast party and a cheap rip-off of the Tonys. I got a tube of toothpaste. ^_^ Very exciting stuff. Everyone just danced and had a good time, and even abused Brian for awhile. I almost feel sorry for him, but sometimes he just brings it upon himself. Freshmen. =p We all had such a good time with some very strange pictures, ice cube torture, me trying to break dance and play guitar, and Chris throwing M&M's on us during the dance-off.
I'm also going to try the spring play this year. Not a musical, thank God. That's what I hate about the fall play is the fact that it's a musical, and we only sing for our auditions. I'm not a good singer but I'm bitchin' with a monologue. (Still on a sugar high...can't you tell?)
I still have to finish up my morality project, studying for two tests, get my permit before my parents kill me....tomorrow.
Oops. I should really be updating this thing more often.
I've discovered the best school strategy: work your butt off during the weekends and finish all/most of your homework so that you don't have any on week days and can just chill. It doesn't sound all that appealing or smart, I know, but at the moment, it's what works for me. ;)
Yesterday I went to the school play auditions, and... eh, I did okay. Just okay. I don't think I got it. I messed up sorta. I could've done better, but I'm not saying that I totally bombed it or that I did horribly bad. I'm not going to get into details. I just don't like to think about or relive auditions. I'm sure you understand. lol. Anyway, today was the second day of auditions. I have no idea when they're going to post the cast list. I hope I get a good part, but I'm not too obsessed about it. I've learned that you can't get your hopes up too high about these things.... One of the other girls said she watched my audition (eek!) and thought we (Tina and I) did a really good job. It was very nice of her! There wasn't a lot of people there, so I hope more people turned up today for the second audition. I know, it's a weird thing to wish for when you're competing for a role, but I like big huge casts. :)
And today, we went on a field trip to the local-ish museum. We saw war memorials and exhibits about women achievements and the Declaration of Independence. Honestly, it was very boring, but much better than staying in school all day.
I've been thinking lately that I should really get a job or something. I need the cash sooner or later, and I'd like to help out my mom. But I don't get it. How is it even possible to manage a job when you still have classes to worry about and can't drive yet? I hardly have enough time in the day to do all of my school work plus get basic things done (like eating and showering)... am I just stupid and can't manage my time? And how would this go about if I start doing plays and stuff--both inside and outside of school? Rehearsals and the like are very time consuming, you know! I am so confused. I have no idea what to do.
JACKALS!!!!!!!! ^__^
....Hmm, I could just leave it at that, but that would be kinda short, wouldn't it? Auditions for Godspell were on Thursday. I guess I did alright, doubt I got in though. Unless you can get in without going to callbacks, but there's only 11 people in the cast so....no. Lol. Oh well, it was really fun. It's good practice, anyway. I sung "All for the Best." We had to sing the fast part, it was hard. ^^; On the bright side, on the very last day I was very desparate to find that song, so my dad downloaded it for me, yay! ^^ Just 99 cents, like if you have an Idod. (Nope, I don't.) So I have my own "free" copy of it on a CD, all for me, to listen to whenever I want. ^^ It's a fun song. I should've picked a different one for singing though ( we had 3 choices), but I didn't know the tune to any of them so I just kind of picked the blue sheet because I recoginized some of the lyrics. ^^;; (I've seen the movie before.) I /might/ be able to do crew, but if you want to do anything you had to turn a paper in today before 8. And of course, I woke up late....I ran into the theater, but I didn't see Mrs. Gregg, but I just kind of put in in this box of papers that was laying out because I was almost late for class.... Whether she got it or not, I have no idea.
Homecoming is next week; it shall be fun. I had dance on Thrusday (aka yesterday), which went....er....alright....*cough**cough* I've been pretty tired lately, which is really annoying. But today I was definitely awake, so that's a good sign. ^^ My gym class was so funny today (arobics/tae bo)(sp?), we followed the video again. The people on the video are...um....interesting, lol. I guess you'd have to be there.
YESIT'SFINALLYFRIDAY!!!!! ^__^ Sooo happy, I'm finally free from all the homework, ect. for a few days. Or one day. Or maybe just a few a few hours....? (Pfft, I'm not doing it today, it's Friday!) Mwahahahah, I'm going to do nothing right now. Just because I can. :3 Yay.
