Road Trip Conclusion...

The final audition of my roadtrip was at Sight and Sound in Pennsylvania.

It was a very long day. I arrived just after 8 AM, and I pulled out of the parking lot at 8 PM.

Every other audition I've done on the trip, I heard the standard (and expected) “thank you for coming in today” aka “We're not going to consider you.” No call-backs.

For this audition though, they kept wanting to see me. Even after my first call-back in which I went in, sang another song and did a cold read, I thought for sure I was done. But no, I heard “Don't let Sharon leave yet”. And I was asked to learn a song from the show.

At the very least, I was encouraged.

I didn't feel great about everything I did. But the comforting thing is: it's all in God's hands. He's in charge. If I'm to be cast, I'll be cast. If not, He's got a better plan. :) They're still holding auditions over the next few weeks, and will see a lot more people. From my understanding there aren't a lot of female roles available. But. HIS will be done.

Now I have to try and forget about it because I won't know anything until Sept or Oct.

I had a lot of fun. It was a great audition. Met some wonderful people. Laughed a lot. Particularly towards the end of the day as we all were getting quite tired. :) After I finally finished I noticed my legs were killing me. Who knew simply waiting around all day could be so taxing on the body?

Now. I'm home. What's next? Stay tuned to find out. (Since I don't know :))
