Having Another Go

This afternoon I attended the Chorus Call for "Ragtime," in hopes of striking gold the second time around. I recognized a few faces who were also giving it another go at the chorus call. One of them remarked, "If only we got credit for attending both open calls." True that! If we got report cards for auditioning, I think I'd be getting pretty high marks. A's for effort anyway.
Sadly right now, still an F for achievement. But that's all gonna change!

Actor's Equity was all abuzz with three or four calls happening at the same time, and since the chorus call for women wasn't until 2pm, it was close to full capacity by the time I arrived.
I hadn't put myself on the list, so I had to get to the back of the line to get a card for this one. Today I was lucky number 161.

I figured that it would be at least a couple of hours until they got to me, so I went into work and then returned to AEA at around 4pm. I still had about another hour until they called the block of 161-180. Apparently I lucked out, because I was in the last group of auditioners for the day and that only happened because a lot of people didn't show up for their slots.

The audition itself went okay, but not as well as I had hoped for. I think that due to all of the running back and forth, I didn't have time to warm up as much as I needed and I wasn't quite as strong. Yuck! When this happens I like to move on right away and pretend that it never happened.

Today's grade: eh - I'd have to give myself a B-

Better start studying hard for the next round! Back to the music books I go!
