Wow that's awesome!

You really can't help to get your hopes up; just don't go bragging about it to your friends. keep it to yourself, and don't turn all conceided about it. Just keeping hoping and praying you get the part.

Good luck!

Don't get your hopes up. You know as a pro that there are far more rejections than acceptances. Just go to the audition and do what you have been doing to get there plus a little something new, like sharing the fun with the audience with a really energetic audition.

I agree with Theater Doc
Don't get your hopes up even if you have a really good shot at it. Just bring energy to your audition. Just show that you are having fun and that you want to be here. If you don't get the part just know you did a good job and that there are always other opportunities. Just try and do your best and I'm sure they will love you. Good luck!

Never get your hopes up over anything in this buisness. Just chill and go with the flow, do your best in your auditions.

just keep doing what you're doing.

Auditioning is tough. You should be very happy,but I wouldn't get my hopes up.There is nothing you can really do right now,so try to keep yourself busy.I think you have a pretty good shot at getting the part. Good luck =D

I'd say don't expect the part, but be optimistic. The fact that you're getting called back shows that they like you, and even if you don't get the part it will look good on your track record and your agent can sell that to another casting director.
You may have to audition a thousand times before you get work, but as long as you're improving then you're successful.
