<p>LOL-thanks everyone…I guess I’m just used to people hurling tomatoes my way at this point in my life. And yes, young performers do need to realize that not all who are listening are going to offer encouragement during an audition. It’s a tough lesson, but the sooner learned, the better. At some point, those who want to make it in the business need to learn how to focus solely on their performance, regardless of the circumstances. A few years ago, my D was singing her heart out and was incensed that the guy in the front row was sleeping and someone else was sending a text, and neither were paying attention to her. I told her to get used to it, at least he wasn’t snoring and it will get worse. ; ) No distraction at the Curtis audition is a good thing, as uncomfortable as it may seem. </p>
<p>All in all, a callback from Curtis is encouragement and should be embraced, regardless of the outcome. Congratulations!</p>
