Today was a pair of auditions. One in Kyle for “Conflict of Interests” and one downtown for “The Falling Man”. The gods of traffic and parking were smiling on me as I zipped from one to the next in record time, and nailed the perfect parking spot downtown even though the Pecan Street Festival was in full swing.

Holly asks me how it went after an audition and I’m understanding now that I rarely know how it went. On many occasions I thought I nailed it but never heard from them again. Often when I think I bombed, well, then I’ll get a surprising callback or book the part. I think that when I feel I did well in an audition it’s a sure sign that too much of my focus was on me and not on my reader.
