Question: What do you think!?!?!?!?!?
I'm a freshman, and I just auditioned for our school's drama today!.
They called people in randomly (you only auditioned in front of the judges) and you would read lines from the show that they ask you to read!.
They called in me and this sophomore guy, and I tried to look as confident as possible!. They had us read part of a scene, and I thought I did pretty well!. I was definitely loud, which is something I would usually have some difficulty with, and I thought my gestures and acting were really good!.
Then they asked us to read another part!. The sophomore said one line, and then I had what can basically be classified as a monologue!. The character is talking to them self about an evil scheme!. I couldn't really say this slowly, because that would sound odd when it's evil scheming!. I definitely didn't act as well as I would have liked to, and I started to read the same line in a sentence twice!. I caught myself, but it was still somewhat obvious!.

What do you think!? 50 people tried out, and there are 20 roles!. Keeping in mind that my first audition was good, and they were two different characters!. Apparently basically no one was satisfied with their performance, and judging on how people were rehearsing, not everyone was spectacular!. Do you think they'll still give me a chance and surpass my 2nd part, or will my mess-up mean no part!?

Thanks =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, All i could advice is:
you said you would like to act it the way you would like to!. Well, whatever they say, trust me, just act it the way you like it!. anyways,

Man!.!.!.!. it depends on the school, because i was once a freshmen, and even if i did kicked butt in my audition, i couldn't get any of the pricipal roles because they prioritize the seniors and the juniors!. and i know that because a 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000!.!.!. i saw myself that i could act better than those kids!.!.!.!.!.!.!. and i believe in your bro!. prove it to everyone that you are really good and fantastic in acting, that they would even have to reject the thought of prioritizing the seniors and juniors!. Have my full support!. You are going to make it!. Believe in it!. That was what i've been trying to prove last year, and i was frustrated and i wouldn't give up, i would let them just walk all over us just because were freshmen (by the way, i'm a sophomore)!. So keep going bro!. I believe in your skills!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
