Neverland 911, what's the emergency?...Oh, dear! Please hold!

Well, this is it. First audition ever is tomorrow. I'm preparing two monologues, one comedic and one dramatic. One is contemporary and the other is Shakespeare. I'm trying to round things out and demonstrate that I'm awesome with all styles so that people know when I go to audition for Midsummer Night's Dream that I can handle whatever is thrown at me.

Sadly enough, I love the Shakespeare one better even though it's way more complicated. Because it actually does fit my personality very, very well and how I respond to romance. It's from Much Ado About Nothing which may sneak in as a close second after Midsummer Night's Dream after this. Simply because of Beatrice. She is like my soul animal. She's my home girl. Ya know? It's a very passionate game-changer, this monologue. And the coolest thing is that I'm feeling her emotions, the emotions of this girl who doesn't realize the consequences  of her actions until they're staring her in the face and she's slapped with reality. That sounds like everything that has ever happened to me and what it takes to get me back on the ground. I'm feeling pumped and horribly terrified but I have a good feeling about this. Not that I'm going to get the part because I'm probably not. I don't care so much about that. I just want to audition and be able to strut around on a stage for a few minutes, not as a group. Have I mentioned I like the limelight more than I let on?

My theatre teacher told us to tell the truth. He was talking about our plays that we're writing (I should probably start on that...), but it applies to this too. And Beatrice is my truth.

For the other one, it's more about pulling off bored, not concerned. Haven't quite figured out if I want to be serious and then totally laid back with an attitude for the second one or if I want to sound bored out of my mind and then with an attitude like I was talking to one of my best friends. I think that way might be funnier (according to the trailer in my head), but I dunno. Haven't decided yet. Ooh, I'm so excited. I'm more excited to just audition than anything else. Which is horribly funny because I couldn't have done it two years ago. Choir... Choir has helped. My solo that I did even though I was nearly dying and the quartet and the duets I've done... they've helped me to release the showgirl that just waits for the chance to purr.
Hopefully this can release her a bit more. If I were to meet the me from even four years ago, she would look at me like I'm completely alien. And that's okay.
