And as for the brief audition session I played this morning... Well...
I'm guessing the strange, frustrating dreams I had last night were a harbinger of what I was going to experience this morning. If I shared the details with you, it would sound like a very "plain" audition. However, it was far from plain.
There are truly some things that one can not explain. There are things that defy explanation. And there are still other things that are probably left better unexplained. And this morning was all that, and more!
So, instead of sharing the details of the actual audition, I shall share with you my reactions to the audition-
-Where's the camera? Seriously, where the camera?!?!?
-I am not going to look at the casting director, I am not going to look at the casting director...
-Oh, no! Did I just laugh out loud?
-Is my smile too big?
-Oh... She writes her own songs...
And then upon exiting the room, I literally fell on the floor and went into the fetal position since it was the only way I could stifle my laughter and shock. Needless to say, the rest of the staff - who could hear the audition through the door - understood my reaction. And they all wanted to know what happened in there. Well...
A few moments after I got up off the floor, the "group" came out of the room... Whew! They didn't see me! And the "smiling" started all over again. Alas, we kept getting the "Not yet" signal from the receptionist since the "group" was taking their time getting their coats on in the lobby area. Then after a few knowing glances, I headed out - past the "group"... to the elevators... down to the street... outside the building... walked over two avenues and up three streets... And Laughed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I still have a bit of that goofy grin on my face almost two hours later.
