5 things you may or may not know about me!
Jacked from Matt and Mi. :D
Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
1. Acting-- Easily the love of my life, and I don't know that that will ever change. I never get bored of acting. Probably because you are always striving for something different, a different character, a different way to do things, a different way to get what you want from others around you. Wow, I just love it. I miss my theatre back in Texas, simply because that was a sure thing. I was guaranteed to always be involved in one way or another, not necesarily onstage (although that was the case often enough), but just involved. Theatre is different here. It's not as much of a fmaily here as it is a job. I get that, but I also miss the idea that those kinds of bonds are special and not so run of the mill. Still, no matter, I'm here, I'm doing what I love, and hopefully (cross your fingers) I'll get paid for it eventually!
2. New York City-- Home. I never realized that the first 16 years of my life were a lie, but they were. I didn't know that everytime I went "home" for the first 16 years of my life was just not real. From the second I stepped off the plane for the first time in NYC, I finally realized what the true feeling of "home" is. A friend visited here with me before I moved and he said that it was odd. I stepped off the plane, took about 5 minutes to acclimate myself, and then was off. He said he almost didn't recognize me anymore, not because I had "changed" persay, but because I seemed to fit here in a way that I never fit in Texas. Moy goal was to live here by the time I was 28, and I beat that by 4 years. It's exciting, but different than I anticipated. More lonely, but fufilling at the same time. I'm here on my own, and I have 2 Off-Off Broadway shows under my belt in less than 6 months. I'm proud of that fact. :)
3. Texas-- Don't miss it at all. The heat, the fact that there's nothing to do anywhere after 10pm. *sigh* Although, I do miss the people there. Friends, Family, the whole 9 yards. I'll visit, but will never live there again. Which is sad, because that means I won't get to go to many Dallas Stars home games.
4. Dallas Stars (and hockey in general)-- Hee. Nice segway from previous point. The Dallas Stars will always be my boys, although my dream team has long since dissipated. I still miss Nieuwendyke, Langenbrunner, and Hatcher (just to name a few). And to everyone who is shocked that I'm from Texas and like hockey I will say again that WE HAVE A FREAKING STANLEY CUP! So there. :P As for Hockey in general, I just love the physicality of the game. Skill and passion go hand in hand in this sport, and I love the honesty of it. Hockey players don't make nice. If something goes down, you see the evidence in the blood on the ice. It's awesome. I love going to a game for the fights and watching a hockey game break out. :D
5. Lord of the Rings-- Ah Aragorn and the NESE. I still haven't made it through the books (sacrilege, I know, but whatevs). The movies still ignite my inner-fangirl, although the obsession has waned a lot by now. Someday I will finish Summer Camp simply because I WILL have the fake death scene in which your truly cons a kiss out of Aragorn. *innocence*

Hee! I may need to sit down and do an interview with you this summer, my dear, as part of my myriad efforts to gather multiple sources of research for my theater books. And now whenever I happen to make it back to NYC I have somebody to visit!!
I am not at all surprised that you have two shows under your belt already. Your track record back in Texas (namely of ALWAYS getting the lead) kind of speaks to your awesome talent. I think you're going to shatter ceilings. *G*
So can I get your advice on something? I'm having my first audition for anything for a long time (I've been out of the game for two and a half years now, I think). It's a musical: Man of La Mancha, and I really want the lead-- for the role itself, not just to be the lead. In musical auditions, do you think it's better to sing a song from the show you're doing or from a different show altogether? I can't make up my mind. If I do a song from La Mancha I'm going to sing Aldonza's intro song: "It's All the Same" If I do an outside song, I think I'm going to do "If I Were a Bell" from Guys and Dolls.
Always look forward to your adventures, my fearless friend. As always, be careful with the dynamite. ;-)
Hmmmm. What does the audition notice say? Songs can be tricky, but it really depends on what the director wants to see. If you can do a song from the musical, and ideally, the part that you are auditioning for, it will help the director to see you in the part. However, if there is a different song that showcases your talent better, I say do that. Think of auditioning as a first date. You want to present the absolute best parts of yourself. Be yourself, but the best version of yourself. Contain the crazy. ;)
Hope that helps!
