I need to take at least 2 more performance classes in order to graduate. In this program, that means you audition or interview. Yesterday was my audition for the Alexander Technique class. I had no idea what to expect - I'd never heard of interviewing to get into a class! And getting in isn't a given; the class is limited to 12, and 18 people signed up for interviews. The instructor expects to notify people by the middle of next week.
Today was my audition for Voice for the Actor. I trimmed down the Veta Louise monologue I've used before. It went well enough, and the professor then had me start it again as if Veta were seriously pissed off about this situation. (I'd been playing her as at her wits' end.) She warned me that she'd cut me off before I finished, and she did, but she explained that anger seems to play funnier. The whole thing took maybe 5 minutes, tops. I told her it was the shortest, most painless audition I think I've ever had. She expects to post her list by the end of the day tomorrow. While I don't have class at this building tomorrow, we do meet here for the "Brahms buses", so I can check the list before we have to board the buses for our concert.
I've now been introduced to this concept of having to audition for a class. The scary part is that they only let you audition (or interview) twice; after that, you're out of luck. Yike!
