Well, if that wasn't the most idiotic audition I've ever been to, then I don't know what is.
First off, they started late...we were standing around for 30 minutes doing nothing. Then when we finally start to do something they line us up on the stage:
Lady: "Do a pirouette."
Everyone does a pirouette...mine's kinda wobbly. Hello! Haven't done ballet in...hmm...8 fucking years! So yeah...they cut most of the girls based on ONE FUCKING PIROUETTE!
I'm sorry, but what does a pirouette (a ballet move) have to do with cancan? Yeah, so, the audition was stupid (all the girls they kept looked no older than 14...I thought the Cacan girls were supposed to be mature and sultry? BZZT, NO!). I made a new friend, though. She looks and acts so much like Cedar. Another girl asked me to come back on Thursday and audition for a train bandit part. My new friend asked me to go with her for a Disney cruise line audition on Sunday.
So, what's the moral of the story?
Friends = Good
Pirouettes = BAD

The bullets are blanks, but the guns are real. Break a leg with all your auditions comming up. I realize that I'm preaching to the choir, but if you pull out all the stops, you'll always be able to give them more each time. Don't limit yourself by thinking about what you think that you're able to do. Go out there and do what you need to do. I know that it sounds cliche to say that you need to give 110%, but acting is one of those professions where you need to actually be at least 10% better than you were the last time when you did your best.
"Give 'em the old razzle dazzle.
Razzle dazzle 'em.
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
and the reaction will be pasionate."
