I worked with my audition coach this morning on this. I love this man! He is so funny and totally insightful. We turn over every stone in our audition work together. I feel like my audition technique is getting stronger - I'm able to be more relaxed. When you are relaxed and you understand what is going on in the scene, your character and the dynamic to the other character(s) - you can fly!
It took me a long time to find someone I feel good about coaching for auditions with. I took plenty of classes that I didnt resinate with to find this man. He's my secret weapon!! (Literally, my friend who recommended him to me made me promise not to give his info out - he's that high in demand and coaches a lot of working, well-known actors....)
Then I did some volunteer work at a local theater - and got to see the current show there tonight! That's part of what I love about New York - all the opportunities to see theater and to meet interesting people. The play I saw tonight will probably move on to a bigger theater - so it was cool to see a smaller, first production of it - written by a pretty well-known playwright whose work I have read and seen productions of before. Next week the hubby and I are going to see John Luguizamo (Moulin Rougge, Romeo + Juliet) workshop his current one man show. I love raw, simple, well written theater. And I love being able to see or be part of the "workshopping" process. New York is really a gold mine for this kind of thing. And I just love being in the theater. Being around all those other people - actors, writers, producers, directors - everyone buzzing around about their current projects. Its really a very cool environment that makes me really happy to be part of. I'd sweep the floors there just to get to be around all that good spirited, creative energy!!!! :)
