Stage auditions in college and beyond are a job seeking effort which often involves a couple of minutes in the room which you spend more than a couple of minutes preparing for and sometimes hanging out all day to hopefully get seen and then you do or you don’t.
No. These folks at auditions are not expecting a personal thank you note for every open call or mass audition and won’t hire you or not hire you whether you send one or not. That is not how the world works. It’s very quick until it isn’t. And when it isn’t you’ll know when it’s time to crank out some form of personal contact and you should when that happens.
College program auditions? Daughter didn’t send them. She sent a fully complete application packet that already explained her interest in program A or B in detail and prepared her audition material specifically to the requirements and her answers to interviews that were thoughtful and specific to the program. Enough already. Not asking to be hired. Asking to spend 4 years in a program that we were prepared to pay dearly for. Sorry but this process feels a bit upside down to me and it should to you too. Go in prepared to be wanted because you are. You don’t need to beg.
