Title: so hey guys I went to my first audition yesterday
Post by: The Hand That Fisted Everyone on August 14, 2008, 01:13:22 PM
by first I mean true audition, something outside of school

What happened was, I was on the toilet and the Dean of Arts & Sciences of my local community college called me up and asked me if I wanted to be in their production of High School Musical. I don't know anything about HMS, but I said OK anyway because I need to build up some experience, and working on High School Productions aren't really going to cut it.

She had said the word "meeting" several times and I assumed I would be sitting down with her and the director talking about various things.

I get to her office the next day, and I waited. This guy wearing a black coat comes in and asks me if I was there for the auditions, I thought to myself "OH GOD" but I said yes anyway and followed him to the auditorium.

I waited forever inside the auditorium waiting for the casting director to get there. He introduced himself as joey something and he gives me an audition sheet. I didn't feel like half the stuff I was in needed mentioning, as they were just crappy plays my teacher wrote.

I give him the sheet, and he asks me to sing a song. "OH GOD" I thought, but I just started singing This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) by Talking Heads and we get on to some dialog he had prepared.

He said he'd have the cast list up by friday, so we'll see how it goes.

How disappointing, I thought you were talking about a REAL audition.  befuddlement Not some production at your college, where the hell is that going to get you. "Hi, I was skater number two in high school musical at community college, impressive I know."

..You know, you have to start somewhere. Not everyone immediately hop on a bus to LA and make it big in Hollywood. Plus, who's to say Sid would want to do this his entire life? He may figure out that it is not the career path for him.

By the way, there were no skaters in HSM.

Why would he waste time building up experience if he didn't want to continue?
And I can tell you don't know shit about theatre, because you can be an extra in a movie or be in an international thespian troupe or be a part of a real theatre.

And yes there were shithead, in Stick To The Status Quo. Sorry your one-up backfired.  :(

Why not? And that does not mean you will automatically be discovered by being an extra.

I doubt this.

Oh my fucking god, are you special ed? You just said you had to start somewhere, which is usually being an extra, which will look better on your experiences than some shitty community college production.

...Have you seen it or not? If you have, you would remember, they sung, tard. And if you haven't, why the hell are you stating facts about a movie you've never seen?

Are you special ed? Any experience is good experience. He never said he was auditioning to go on Broadway, he just wanted to try it.

Bullshit, there were no skaters. Prove it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBVUlgG8Lm8 I do not see one. Not one skateboard, roller skate, or anything with wheels.

No, no, no. You don't know shit. You can do 4923042 high school productions but being in a film is 9403024 times better.

OKAY, STUPID, RIGHT AFTER CHAD TALKS TO TROY AND IS LIKE "THE SKATER KIDS THINK THAT THEY CAN JUST TALK TO US NOW". Or something like that. He says something about skater kids. The kids I'm talking about start singing at 1:40. There's a skateboard around their table somewhere, you just gave me a shitty video so I can't tell exactly where.

Unfortunately, I don't play such a huge part in the audition process. My only job is to  introduce myself at the audition meeting and tell the prospective actors/actresses that if they need help, I'm available to answer questions or run lines. Oh, and then I need to enter the e-mails of everyone who auditioned into this one giant e-mail list. It's usually 150+ people. Not fun. 

But other than that, it's really nothing special.
