I just signed up for the fun concept of a night of 1930’s music…American Idol style.

Today was really fun. Didn’t have temp job to drain my brain of creative force. I had two auditions in the same audition location (right at the Equity office on 46th Street) for two different companies – one in New York, the other in Florida.

Thursday, I went in for an audition for a North Carolinian production of “Phantom.” That’s “Phantom,” the other version of “The Phantom of the Opera” not written by Lloyd Webber. Had the morning to get ready, nice and easy, got there 1/2 hour before the official sign up time started, and there was already a decent line. But got a 3:10 appointment. Hung out, utilized the women’s green room (had never seen that in an audition room before…love it!), read a bit, listened to podcastmafia.com podcast. Finally went in and sang “This Place is Mine” and felt good about it.Continue readingUpdate, auditions and documentaries
