Straw Hats (& other summer auditions) - Summer 2016

@duxellen Sorry to hear about NETC for your D. When my D went to SETC last year, she was very sick and lost her voice – she could not sing AT ALL. She was devastated! Another girl from her program was so sick, she carried around a blanket and laid on the floor (she couldn’t go home until everyone had finished auditioning). It was so sad because this was their last audition trip of the season. Her professors told her to go ahead and audition and power through it. Her prof still jokes about her auditioning with her raspy voice, “Hi, I am So-and-So and my number is 666.” (Her number truly was 666.) Poor girl! This is why she is determined to go to as many auditions as possible this season. Even with an audition slot, anything can happen! My daughter did get a job offer from ITAs she had attended back in Jan or Feb – and she was so thankful. The other girl did a paid acting intensive in NY for the summer and had a great time and got some great experience. The actor’s life is not for the faint of heart!
