Huh?!?!

Some things are just odd. You truly just need to hang onto the beast and let it take you for the ride.

I auditioned for my first movie on Friday. Nothing big - a little indie short film. Auditioning for movies is such a different beast from theatre. In the latter you sometimes sing a second song, do another monologue, or try a cold read differently based on the direction you receive.

In the case of the former. I was in and out of the room in under 30 seconds. I sat in a chair, slated my self, did the scene, got a thank you, and I was done. Talk about having nothing to go on for self-analysis and actor paranoid self-assessment.

But I got a call yesterday and I totally booked the gig. I literally listened to the message and said, "Huh?!?" out loud.

Now, if I could get more of those and get other theatre gigs to fall in line, then I may be on my way to achieving some bigger goals.
