Getting Classy

Over the past couple of months I've been buckling down and ramping up my audition efforts (i.e. three calls in one day) and nothing has hit quite yet... Frustrating. What am I doing wrong? Or what am I doing right? Is my resume lacking credits/credibility? I know I've been out of the game for some time, thereby resulting in a resume mostly comprised of improv shows and not many recognizable names. It seems that without names to your name, you're sorta up a creek without a paddle and most casting directors cast you aside - or what's worse, hoist you overboard altogether.

I need to put an end to this right now! I know that there are thousands of other talented little fishies out there in this proverbial sea, but I need to get to the botton of why I'm not a good catch! I need to find my hook and reel 'em in - there's a lot on the line here and that's no fish tale! (Had enough of the fish analogies yet? I'm sure I could go on...)

Why should they pick me? Well, the better question is, "Why shouldn't they?" I've got the talent and determination, dammit! I'm in the same LEAGUE! Pick me! Choose me! Catch me!

Well today I decided to really do something about it. I signed up for a four-week Musical Theater Audition class which is being taught by an actual Casting Director. He will instruct us in the ways of audition technique, material and our overall package. The four-week session will conclude with "a Q&A followed by showcasing your prepared material for adjustments, comments and written feedback."

Sounds good to me! After doing a little bit of research on the people involved, I decided to go for it. I need someone to school me in the ways of auditions so that I can start making things happen! Musical Theater class here I come!
I'm ready to take the plunge!
