When an audition goes well.

I love it when this happens. When you are lucky enough to have the script for a while beforehand and can prepare for the audition. When everyone around you has prepared also. Its also real nice when they are only reading a small number of people for each roll. In this case four men and four women to play one male and one female character.

I was lucky in that out of the four women auditioning I got to read with two of them. Both very fine actresses that I have worked with before, one was even an old girlfriend but that's a whole different story, and would like to work with again. But of the two one was just hands down better. She didn't have a single false moment. Her "reading" was better then a lot of performances I have seen. She made my job so much easier because all I had to was listen and react. It was just a joy to be on the stage with her. Not that the other one wasn't good she was but it just wasn't as good as the first one.

So now the waiting game begins. Will I get the part? If not me who? Who will get the female part? Want to know what? Who really fucking cares. If I get cast I get cast. If I don't I don't. I gave it my best shot, did a nice job and its out of my hands. A big difference from how I use to be. When I first started doing theater at the community theater level after an audition I would be agonizing over when would I hear something. Lucky that no longer happens. Thank god. lol
