Ramblin' on...
You know what? I always title my blog entries before I write them. Which is interesting 'cause I never know ahead of time what I'm going to say. Not REALLY, anyway, I mean I might have an idea or two, but.
Anyway, I had a haircut today with the fabulous Sarah, and it appears to be a very good cut! I may want to go shorter in the back, maybe one fewer layers or something, but we'll live with this for a while and see what we think of it later. She dried it for me so it's not really fair to judge yet, but it seems to be falling into a very nice shape. I'm so freakin' glad I finally got a haircut, it's amazing how much better I feel! I think it's that you get bad hair so slowly that you don't realize how annoying it is to you to be looking like that!
And I'm SO LOW-MAINTENANCE (at least in that way) that it's a shocker that I notice it at all...
So anyway, I had my audition tonight which was, as the director put it, short 'n' sweet. There were a whopping 4 of us there - this was her last day of auditions - so it was super low-key. I did my new monologue for it - nothing like trying out a new monologue in an audition to show you just how much more work you have to do on it. It's a fabulous monologue though, and one of the other actors thanked me for it as we were leaving, so it couldn't have been THAT bad, but I realized where I need to work more. This was actually really good - I had an interesting "let's try this!" moment at one spot, which went okay, then I thought about it in the car on the way home, I remembered something my acting teacher had said about that spot in class on Monday - and I tried it out in the car. And I GET it now whereas he was just saying some weird stuff in class and I didn't try it at ALL for the audition - but now I see his point and it helps a lot. So would I have thought to think through it if I hadn't had the audition? Possibly not - so hooray for auditions! Oh, and they're also lots of fun, so yay on auditions again!
I'm going to go watch Cash in the Attic. The British version.
