Hello Lovelies,FINALLY! It's snowing here in NYC! I've been waiting for this! (and it's sticky snow - perfect for making snow men!) I know I'll be making myself a snow man -- complete with a snow present to give me on snow-Valentines day.
So I had one great and one terrible audition this past week! I went to the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse audition on Sunday morning (they're doing Les Miz, Little Shop, All Shook Up and are also doing a show that I was in the original cast back in Minnesota). SO, I walked into the audition hoping for it to go well, because they knew about this show that only the folks in MN usually know about!
Well, let me tell you, I SUCKED! Laid a big egg in the room.
I was so prepared to sing "Anything But Lonely" from Aspects of Love (to be considered for Fantine) and it just blew. Big time.
All the notes came out OK, but I had no connection with my imagined scene partner, I didn't hold the last note out liked I wanted to & pretty much was so tired that I felt like I was drunk.
(Come to think of it, I probably would've given a better audition if I were drunk. Must try that sometime...)
Oh, well - you gotta have some bad ones to appreciate the good ones!
BUT on Monday I did the chorus call for the new musical 9 to 5 (based on the movie) at Telsey & Co. It went VERY well! I sang Sara Evan's "Born to Fly" and ROCKED IT OUT! Felt really good about how it sounded and also how I communicated with my "scene partner"! Also, I took the beginning slowly and then sped up after 2 bars - this worked GREAT! (that's a technique I learned from Jen Waldman! Love it!)
Today I'm working at my personal assistant gig on the Upper East side & it's been a busy day! Dinner reservations, car reservations, ordering orchids from the florist (see pic below!),
looking at dresses on e-bay, playing with the two-year old & now off to get bras for the Lady of the House at La Perla. (god that store is FANCY! I'm so surprised that they don't ask me to leave when I go in there - I don't look like an UES tennis mommy....)
Tomorrow I have an audition for Pittsburgh CLO -- hoping that goes well! Now it's time to go to the post office & return some stuff to Neiman Marcus & then off to Jen Waldman's AWESOME audition class!
