As mentioned previously... a while ago or something... auditions for Romeo and Juliet at Weber State University are coming up. They are this coming Monday and Tuesday! Jesse Pepe and I have decided to be scene partners and do the balcony scene (the only scene offered for the audition which involved both Romeo and Juliet) as our selection. I'm SUPER excited about this. Jesse is a fabulous actor and it took quite a bit of convincing for me to get him to want to do it. Ok, not TOO much convincing, but enough, so needless to say I am stoked that he decided to work with me on this. I trust him as an actor and we seem to work well together on stage. Hopefully that and some really hard work will result in a fantastic audition!
As excited as I am, I am also freaking out considerably. I am pretty good at memorizing, but six pages of monologue filled Shakespeare in 5 days is HARD! I am getting there and have been working on it non stop, but i've only got like.... 2 or 3 pages of it memorized. It will be fine though. I've been praying a lot, and the Lord will help me memorize this stuff!
My biggest "ambition" for this audition is just to do the best that I can do. I have felt that for the past few auditions that I have done I have done my absolute best. I was only cast in 1 of the 3 shows that I auditioned for this year, but it doesn't matter because I know I did my best in those auditions. Now, even though I want to be in R&J, what I want most is to do well in this audition. If I do the best I can do and I feel great about my audition I'll know that no matter what happens I gave it my best shot. If I get cast, FABULOUS! If I don't, then I know that I did the best that I could do and that Tracy (the director) was just looking for something other than what I brought to the table. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that!
So, I took a few minutes to post this, because I needed a tiny break from Juliet's monologues... but now I'm getting back on the horse and I'm going to get 'er done!
