Multiple focuses at once...

Well, it's official.  All of my auditions for grad school are scheduled.  Officially, I have applied and officially, I am auditioning and being considered for school.

WOW.

I'm trying to take the day and just relax because since November I've been running non-stop.  I really haven't had a break.  So today I'm trying to just breathe, relax, maybe I'll take a walk in a bit or go to a yoga class.  Ed got me a 90 minute hot stone massage for Christmas so I think I'll use that before I go to NYC to audition.  It's in two weeks.  My auditions are in two weeks.

Yesterday I met with my acting coach, Peter Schmitz who I HIGHLY recommend if you need monologue work of any kind.  Peter has given me excellent advice, advice that I know I'll carry with me past these auditions.

I have one last meeting with him and then it's off to the auditions a week after that.  My meeting with him yesterday really helped me get past all of my normal fears.  Peter has taught me again that I just need to buy into the scene.  If I believe it, they'll believe it.  There's nothing silly about that.

So now I'm in the midst of having to send out more headshots/resumes because if I don't get into school I need to be sure I'll get into some important auditions this coming season.  People are already starting to say that they have work for next season so I need to get on it.  I feel more confident about myself than I did a year ago and it's only growing.  I know I'll look really good for auditions, but if I do get called back I'll look even better.  My healthy habits are finally paying off.

I don't know what I'm going to do with myself the rest of the day but I'm definitely going to relax and take a load off before these upcoming stressful weeks.  I'll keep ya updated.

Until next time...
