I had another audition...this one in San Diego. Frankly...it was not good. Listen...realizing your own reality is the ONLY way to succeed! If you know you rocked, be proud of it. If you know you sucked...do something about it!
I reached out to someone that I follow on Twitter and received INVALUABLE information and help. Here's the conversation:
Me: (over 2 tweets) When @ audition with cd (I accidently typed cA...slip of the finger) how much performance space is camera giving? Tight or wide? Can I stand up and get more animated? I always feel this need to work within a small space and it inhibits a LOT!
@stgactor: (over 4 tweets) I always prefer actors stand up.U keep your power that way. Ask the cd what your latitude is. R they forcing u to stay seated? Learn to work small but b effective. Have u taken an on camera cold reading class? Highly recommend Margie Haber. If 2 expensive I have another less expensive alternative.The difference between theatre & film/tv training is enormous. Working while still doesn't mean less power or emotion. It just means compacting yourself but still expressing from the heart.
Me: Thank you sir! Invaluable and appreciated info. You're the best! :) I'll be attending orientation with Margie Haber. My recent audition wasn't good, 2 B frank, b/c I felt so 'caged'. Thanks again!
@stgactor: good. tell her you're a referral. our peeps get a discount.
Me: Will do...thanks again. xo
So a SPECIAL shout out to Mr. Phil Brock of STG for offering his invaluable expertise...I am grateful for it!
xoxo, Maggie
