Wow that was fricken rough. I tried to memorize a monologue for this thing, but with Marshall and Adriel being loud as fuck, there was no way to get one down in time. So I had to go in their blindly and just read from the sides. This was my first cold read, ever, period. I always thought that you showed up a half hour to an hour early, they give you the sides, and then you have some time to work on them a bit before you go into the audition. However, I showed up an hour early and was told that the sides were given to me as I enter the room. I started to freak out a little bit.. no monologue, no time to work the sides. Luckily Megan was there to calm my brain a bit with conversation, and gave me some tips on how to handle the audition given the circumstances.
So I go in there, and they wanted me to read for Troy (comedic relief, Seth Rogan'ish type character), and Ethan (lead, fo srs, lovey scene and depressed scene.) I did Troy first, and ended up botching the lines pretty badly. Then I did Ethan, which turned out a lot better, although I recall doing a few nervous habits while I was reading. So.. I really have no idea how this will turn out. It was nice doing an audition again though, especially after 3 years of.. not. And this definitely taught me that I need to do more cold reading and perfect the art.
