Xmas..Xmess

Woah, these days have been frantic, but Xmas Eve's finally here and I may can afford some rest..:)

I have been working hard on my audition and things are turning out to be pretty messy..!

The pianist I was working with couldn't play Don't rain on my Parade so I had to find a new one, hope everything will turn out as good as possible!

Thankfully, I got more and more help on the acting and dancing side, a really talented and kind Brown University grad offered to help me with my monologues and a friend of mine who is actually a ballet dancer is helping me with the coreography...I couldn't be more blessed!

After all, even if pretty messy, things are going pretty well, hope to figure out how to manage all this pianist thing!
Wishing for a Xmas miracle!
Fingers crossed :)

And Merry Xmas y'all!!

Work in progress

I've been pretty busy lately so I didn't really had time to write anything!

I studied hard and I gave my IELTS exam, I don't have the results yet but I really hope I did good enough because I'm applying for the Royal conservatoire of Scotland and I need a good score..!

I'm now preparing myself for the audition part..! *I really wanna run&hide because it terrifies me!!!*

In my attempt to overcome my fear for auditions, I reunited all the possible support I could get so I'm now having one or two extra singing an dancing sessions per week to be sure to be properly prepared..HUZZAH!


Since I'm an overseas applicant, I can tape the entry audition and send it with my application! Can't really decide if it is a good or a bad thing for a possible callback..!


I feel more confident now that I have the physical and psychological help and support from my trainers and the ones who love me! :)

The thing that worries me the most are the monologues..! I really can't decide which ones I should prepare..!

I have to prepare a classical shakespearean monologue and a contemporary monologue, any suggestion?

 

P.S. Things are getting pretty Xmasy, I almost changed a couple of songs with Xmas songs, I LOVE Xmassss!! Haha!

Auditions

It's really bad when it comes to auditions for me, it's the kind of circumstance I hardly stand.

My mind starts to blank, I trip on words and I'm literally paralyzed....basically a disaster!

I actually have auditioned just once in my life, it was an entrance audition for a Musical Theatre course and even though I consider it a good experience, it was just SCARY at that time..!

However, that school admits just 10 students per year and there was about 500 of us at the audition so I didn't got in.

I'm now considering to do it again because my goal is to become an actress or to work in the entertainment industry anyway so I'll have to audition if I want to get into the courses I've choose..

I'm terrified, I have to find a way to face my fears because if I want to reach my goals, auditions will be part of my daily life, any tip fellows artists?
