What can I say? I am back on the saddle and rusty. This audition game is similar in the UK as in Canada, but man do they really ask a lot. I mean, I have an audition on Friday for Sister Act, and have been asked to learn 2 songs from the show by memory, and 30 pages of dialogue. Erm...I got the call on Monday. Let's not forget that I'm now a mother, and I also had 2 other auditions this week. God knows I am a hard a** worker, and He will also tell you that I will do what I can.
Today though, I auditioned for a company that produces review shows. We sang in the morning, and then were asked to stay for a dance call. I told them straight up...I'm a singer who can moooooove...cause this girl has not danced in YEARS! Well let me tell you..after some push turns, padebures, a pirouette and a high kick, I quickly had no choice but to bring it back to my flashdance days. I worked my butt off trying to memorise the steps and the sequences, however because I gave my only bit of food to a homeless person on the train to my audition, I had no brain power. My first run through the dance was bang on, however my second pass was like a monkey trying to swim. Of course I have a big mouth and told the panel of judges that I can not leave knowing I crapped my last dance pass, and needed to do it again. They were so kind, and allowed us all to get it right just one more time. BOOM KAK! Hello JLO. Let's just say I left satisfied, yet tired! Man, auditioning is a workout.
I'm so blessed to be back in the game and can't wait to see what the future holds for me here in the UK.
