Stories Demonstrating How to Act (Not "Theatre Act") at an Audition

My D found comfort in the fact that I was there to watch over her stuff, be there after auditions, and be there just in case she needed anything.

I don’t like to hear or watch my D audition for anything. Although I’m proud of her and love to hear and watch her, it just makes me uncomfortable at auditions, so I haven’t since she was tiny. I’ve just always thought that this was her thing and wanted to encourage independence and professionalism. Plus, I have this weird idea that I will jinx her by listening, ha ha! So, I stay away from the rooms in which she auditions, and that was true at Unifieds, too. Once this weekend, I ended up closer than I wanted to be and mildly panicked when I realized I could hear her. I must have looked goofy with my hands pressed over my ears so that I wouldn’t hear her as much! I could have moved away, but it was the last audition on Sunday, I was tired (you know–so much auditioning for me, ha ha), and I didn’t feel like carrying everything to yet another spot. Lol!
