In Class Student Audition

Okay, so today I had an audition for a student in which I was supposed to portray an 18 year old runaway in an abandonded hotel.  I show up and realize that I'm not a runaway, I'm just a kid hiding out after school at this place with her best friend.  So I redo my look so I don't look quite so haggard and start going over sides.  Yes, of course, sides weren't available until I got there.  There's like 3 pages of dialogue and I mostly got it down in the 10 minutes I had thanks to my awesome coach, Amy Lyndon.  So I walk in and what do you know...there's a classroom full of 20 students and their teacher staring at me...huh.  Well, whatever.  So I meet the director and just block everybody except her and the reader out.  We start out with this reaction sequence of watching somebody die.  Pretty good!  Then we move to the two scenes and they switch to the role I wasn't prepared for.  Fan-freaking-tastic, right?  But I made them let me take my time and what do you know; I held the emotion and screwed the exact wording and did it.  Awesome.

I got a callback.  : )
