Auditioning???

Question

I have been in theatre and show business pretty much my entire life. I started at age 5 when I was in a production of Beauty and the Beast through a summer camp with the Performers Workshop. I've always bee na very outgoing girl, until it comes down to auditioning in front of people who I know are judging me.

At TPW, nobody was ever cut, and everyone got placed in better parts if they had better abilities. I was always the one who would be put in the supporting roles no matter how hard I tried. I can't see mto make a fool of myself in front of a lot of people I know are judging me and trying to do better than me.

If you saw me at auditions, and then saw me onstage as the same part, you'd think I was two different people. I can be crazy and carefree in front of an audience that is there to support me, not critique me.

This year, I auditioned for EVERYTHING at my school, Swing Choir, Fall Play, the Musical...nothing. I got cut from everythign because I was too afraid to look

Answer 2

try to forget they are there i had to do that when i was auditioning for Disney i just looked into the camera and forgot everyone else was there said my lines and i did my best but i totally know what you are talking about my first audition was FREAKING out partially because i walked into class late and my teacher told me to go on stage and audition lol i didn't know that was the audition day it was bad.
