Illinois Theatre Auditions.
To tell you the truth, I actually feel completely prepared. I have a great song (Holding To The Ground from Falsettoland) and a monolouge that I enjoy (a piece from Grey's Anatomy) This audition is one of those cattle calls where you have 1 minute 30 secs to give a song and monologue performance. This year, for quite possibly the first time ever, I'm not worried about time. I ran my whole audition last night and it came in at 1:40 the first time. I cut two sentences, ran it again and wham, bam, 1 minute 27 seconds.
Although I am hopeful that something will come out of these auditions, I'm considering this a warm up for Midwest Theatre Auditions which happen in mid-February. My goal right now is to get out of Chicago for the summer and there will be plenty of summer theatres at Midwest auditions.
I haven't had much time in recent weeks to apply the entire KK method to the monologue I'm using tomorrow. I've been doing KK Light; taking some of her ideas and trying them out, but not going through the full boat. Once I see how the audition goes tomorrow, I'll know what worked and what didn't and I'll start applying the full method to my monologue so it's fool-proof for Midwest.
Wish me lots of (figurative) broken appendages tomorrow. Say a prayer, light a candle, kiss up a good wish and keep me in your thoughts!
