Question: Auditioning!?!?!?
I have been in theatre and show business pretty much my entire life!. I started at age 5 when I was in a production of Beauty and the Beast through a summer camp with the Performers Workshop!. I've always bee na very outgoing girl, until it comes down to auditioning in front of people who I know are judging me!.

At TPW, nobody was ever cut, and everyone got placed in better parts if they had better abilities!. I was always the one who would be put in the supporting roles no matter how hard I tried!. I can't see mto make a fool of myself in front of a lot of people I know are judging me and trying to do better than me!.

If you saw me at auditions, and then saw me onstage as the same part, you'd think I was two different people!. I can be crazy and carefree in front of an audience that is there to support me, not critique me!.

This year, I auditioned for EVERYTHING at my school, Swing Choir, Fall Play, the Musical!.!.!.nothing!. I got cut from everythign because I was too afraid to lookWww@QuestionHome@Com
