I love theater. Â I love musicals. Â I love singing and acting. Â So what do I do? Â I take part in my school’s musicals every year. Â We had our auditions for next years play today and I think I messed everything up. Â After I did my lines they told me I did a good job but then came the singing… Â I’ve listened to the song so many times I have it memorized! Â I’ve worked so hard yet during my song they had me stop early! Â They gave us a stopping point so the audition didn’t take too long and I didn’t even get to that point! Â I was extremely nervous and I feel like I messed everything up! Â It may not seem like a big deal but it is. Â Next year will be my senior year, I want to have a good role at least once before I graduate. Â I want to do the meet and greet with the people who came to watch. Â I want to do a good job but… Â I’m starting to doubt myself and its not like I have people around me saying its okay or that I did a good job. Â So I either did such a crappy job that they didn’t want to hear any more or I did an amazing job and they didn’t need to hear more. Â I won’t know until the auditions are over and they post the roles… Â Man I’m scared…

Relax. Telling you to stop just means they heard all they needed to hear. These days, in the professional world, 16 bars is all they want.
Hell, you would’ve had me sold on just 8 bars! This is your passion and may well be your calling, so to speak. You did your best and no one could ask any more of you. I have the best of hopes in you gaining a role and if not? Cést la vie, mon ami. Opportunities are abound for someone with your drive and charisma.
That bit of doubt is what is holding you back. Smoke the bastard out and get your Gun Group to shred ’em. From there – there’ll be no more doubt in your mind that you’ll get the job done.
Best of luck to you. Might see you on Broadway or something one day. 🙂
