Don't Under Estimate The Room

It's all about the room, the audition room.  You have to learn the audition room quickly.  What kind of mood it is in. And to adjust accordingly.  It will just help with the performance.

Today I went in with a real attitude and comfort in my ability to convey the message.  It was dress rehearsal for one of my next performances.   I sat there waiting for my turn to go up.  I was confident

I wouldn't need any kind of relaxation exercise before I went up.  I casually sat there, listening to the

entire play.  Of course you have to be familiar with the play.  But I've done the play before.  I let my confidence skip over my preparation.  So when it came down to performing I realized I was a little nervous and somewhat unprepared.

Overall I was not entirely happy with my performance.  There were a few things that I did enjoy, some moment to moment work.  Of course my body movement was organic. I wasn't connected completely.

Just because it was something I had done before I didn't prepare as well as I should have.  And this is not an attitude that I need to have.  I need to change that attitude.  I need to be practicing constantly and prepare myself as much as possible.

Regardless of what the stage, what the project, what the audition may be, prepare the same as if it was Carnegie Hall.  At the end of the day it is my name I endorse.

Don't under estimate the room!
