Channeling My Inner Cheese
I have an audition today for one of the cheesiest musicals of all time. I could not be more excited about this because I get to sing a SUPER CHEESY song while acting in a SUPER CHEESY MANNER while attempting to look like I take the material very seriously. Hooray! Thank you, Universe!!
Someone recently told me that I may very well be too smart to do musical theatre. That compliment meant so incredibly much to me and I'd like to expand on how I feel about that but every time I sit down to write about my career and where I'm headed right now, I start BORING MYSELF. I can't imagine how YOU would feel.
So, I don't know. It's not that I don't think musicals can be smart. Or that musicals don't have their place in society or that I don't take my job seriously. That is not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is, I have a SUPER RIDICULOUSLY CHEESY audition today and when I YouTubed other performers who have performed this role recently, I could NOT STOP LAUGHING because the acting! was so! incredibly! BAD!
I am going to take a deep breath today and try to remember how I acted in high school. And then I will multiply the exaggeration and "forehead creased in agony" by about a hundred. Then I will maybe cross my arms and hug myself and then stare longingly out in the distance. I'm hoping if I do this accurately, I will get a callback. WE SHALL SEE.
And now, I'm late for work.
