Meh, well, if I were directing I would spend all night casting so I could get my freaking show started!

Surely it's easier to cast when the person's audition is fresh in your mind? I'd have to call...lol.

Jami and I were talking about that yesterday, that I should call and yell at him or something.

Surely he knows he's dealing with artsy fartsy drama types. I'd be suprised if someone hasn't called him, already, lol.

I know, I'm really suprised with all the crazies here (or JaCrazies as we call a select few).

Very good point, I mean how can he ever possibly remember the nuances of your monologues this far from the original audition? Sure he took notes, but I doubt they are sufficient!

We didnt monologue, we cold read from the script but still I agree. How can he posssibly remember just how fabulous I was?

Ouch, a cold read only? That is never easy, and it doesn't show your abilities as well as a monologue. I personally think doing monologues for the first audition, then cold reads for the callbacks is how it should be done. But that is just me ^^

I've never had to do a monologue for an audition. Just several various reads with or without others.

I like saying "Je te souhaite merde" it is the french version of break a leg....

And Kasdeja, I usually do monologues, and I usually write them!

You realize that it doesn't say Break a Leg, right? It's "I wish you shit."

Yes, the phrase was originally "I hope you step in Dogsh*t" but it has been trimmed. I didn't say that it said that. I said it was the French equivalent, which it is. That is what they say. And would you rather break your leg or step in dog doodoo?

It's just that I'm French, myself, and have never heard of that. :wink:
