More old blogs

Here's the last of the old blogs, so it will time to start new ones soon. Today is a good day, I feel. Suffice it to say that I am cutting out people who like to create drama (and I'm not talking about the drama onstage). It feels good.

Well, at least the last one went well. Yet, I didn't get the part - par for the course. I am impatient and even though I know it will take time, I still get irritated if I didn't get the part. Normal? I don't know. Perfectionist? Definitely. Don't they know I'm their perfect person for the role? I guess if you don't go into these auditions thinking you're the shit, then you've got nothing. It's the only way I can keep my skin thick. Don't worry - I'm still staying humble. Seeing other singers who have mastered it more then me keep me humble. My voice teacher keeps me humble. Living in NYC most definitely keeps me humble. Gives me something to strive for and reminds me I'm not completely crazy - all those other people talking to themselves on the streets of New York are! ;-)

Ah, the art of mastering auditioning. It's so fun! And you never really know what they're thinking. I did an audition yesterday that was good, but not great. Not my best. Yet the German they asked me to read was perfect (well, close to it anyway). Did they get that I was having an off day? Do they care? All the typical questions, I know, but since I chose to get back into this crazy profession (or it chose me really), I still haven't mastered every audition and it drives me insane. I suppose I shouldn't expect perfection every time, but I am impatient. I've only been back seriously for two years, so I suppose I should have faith and patience. Every good thing takes time...hopefully I will master the audition I have next week.
