My new friend Lauren at “Dark of the Moon” auditions told me that I sounded like Southern Belle, but low and evil. That conjures the most entertaining mental images I’ve had since… I dunno, a few posts ago. Also, Aschley in my AP Studio Art class says that I sound like a lounge singer when I sing along with the Beatles. This, too, is worrisome.
Anyway, DotM auditions. I read for the Dark Witch, which would be a fairly cool role but for the fact that I’m concurrently playing the Sorceress in Dido and Aeneas. Yay for evil witches that destroy life and love for their own amusement. I sang “Whatever Happened to Honor”, which impressed a few people when I mentioned that it was from a musical I was writing. I wish I’d been able to warm up beforehand, though. My high notes weren’t as clear as they could have been. Grr. At least it was better prepared than most of the boys! 75% of male auditionees sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President”, one with accompanying striptease. “How much do we have to pay him to keep his clothes on?”, I quoted.
Saw Casey Potter, Casey Pedersen, Lauren Donsky, Daniel, Ricky (the Percy clone, who sadly no longer has glasses), Nathan, Joe, and various other familiar faces. Hurrah. Callbacks Thursday.
