how to screw an audition

Auditions for Iphigenia 2.0 was tonight. Pretty much did awful. All those years my parents told me to be soft-spoken have now backfired. I have absolutely no vocal range, which makes things very difficult. No one wants an actress who they can’t hear. I auditioned for Clytemnestra and the bridesmaid. After pretty much blowing my Clytemnestra audition (not saying things correctly, messing up lines, not hitting the words right), Mei Ann tells me that whether or not I did well, my voice is a problem – which translates to: We can’t use you cause your voice sucks. The bridesmaid audition went a little better. I ran through my lines pretty well…. but I still don’t feel that great about it. I think another problem is that there is only 5 speaking parts for women, and about 30 women auditioning. Effff….

Ok, I ranted. And now, I’m just going to let it go. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be….
