NP: Everything - Fold Zandura

So the radio auditions today were a waste of 4.5 hours of my life. I showed up half an hour late, so I missed the first round of readings. The part I received for my first contained five one-sentence lines spoken in a state of confusion; not the best situation to demonstrate acting talent. So I was a little disappointed and irritated (the latter coming from the fact that I didn't perform the reading until 2:45), but stuck around. The second and final part they gave me was actually a step backward: the part only had two lines. I decided to use a British cockney accent just so I could show them I have more skill besides basic literacy. Then, when we step up to the microphone, the director asks me to read another part (for which I had not prepared). Ordinarily not a problem, but the part was a large African-American man, which requires a completely different voice (think The Green Mile). The real challenge came when my two characters spoke to each other. Switching such drastically different personas and voices with no prior preparation isn't easy. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be getting a role.

C'est la vie.
