The audition was fun. I always enjoy screen acting auditions. They vary from theatre a little bit when it comes to the monologue. I get to be a bit more comedic, which is great. I did one of the monologues I wrote and they laughed a lot so I knew I was off to a good start. Then they had me read for a few of the roles. I gave them my headshot and resume and was done with the audition.
A few days later I received a call from the director saying that there was a new part he wanted me to audition for that he thought I would work well in. Right before the audition that night I got a another call from the director saying there was no need for me to come in. I was a little sad thinking they had cast someone else in the role. However, he then proceeded to inform me that they decided not to audition anyone else and just give me the role. The role contained crying and they had seen me cry that summer in the 48 hour challenge, so they said they knew I could handle it.
My character:
Stephanie- A nurse at the local hospital. One of the patients dies and she has a panic attack. It is the first person she has ever seen die and takes it very personally.
Fun? Not the most happy story in the world, but it is a fun character to play. I'll keep you updated.
