All the world is but a stage.

Callbacks for the campus movie I auditioned for was today. I made it! Interviewed with Glenn the director/cameraman/editor/producer (who I worked with before, Winter 2003 for my 4-line part). I'm glad I made it but I'm not very surprised. He took me last time (granted I only appeared for but a brief moment - but still got my name and a short clip of me in the credits AND the preveiws), and that was my first audition ever. I have a little more acting experience under my belt now (still not much but some is better than none) so I presume that it was a little better than before.

He's still trying to figure out where to cast us and stuff. Said that the lead was between me and 2 other girls. He wanted to choose someone not invovled in the school play, but all 3 of us are (small campus, smaller in Spring, go figure). I'll find out what part I get on Monday. Of course, since the script hasn't been written, I won't know how big or small it is until the day before shooting and Glenn hands me the script. We're very proffessional, if you can't tell.

Anyway, I'm not hopeful to get the lead. It would be totally cool but it's going to be really cheesy so I really don't care. It's just fun. I'll keep you posted.

I also had play rehearsals today. I have a small part, like most everyone else, but Jen, the director wants me to come up with character's personality. I really don't have much to go off since I'm only an operator with lines are like "Your call, please?" "Murray Hill 4 -0098? One moment please" "But madam-" "I'm sorry, what number were you calling?" etc. Script doesn't give too many hints. So you end up with me just being me - boring. There are millions of possibilities for the creative director. Creative has never been a word I use to describe myself. Everyone else seems to do ok, and I feel awkward because I've never really been involved with theater before nor taken any classes unlike everyone else. I feel like I suck at acting right now so, yeah. I'd really like to be good at this, but I'm not holding my breath. Just like dancing and singing you know. I love doing it, but I will never be able to claim to being any good at it.

Sorry. Strangely in some sort of funk today. Probably just the hormones.

Anyway, I have to run for now. Shem is making his own movie and wants me to be in it. No speaking parts. Just stand there, holding an 8 ball for a cheesy psychic ad in his movie. Fun stuff. Hehehe.
