Wednesday, I had another audition at Danny Goldman casting. It was an AFTRA promo gig for a local news show. I haven't heard anything but getting it would probably cost me money as the pay wouldn't cover the AFTRA fees. I'm eligible for SAG, but haven't joined yet so I can still compete for nonunion jobs. When the time comes, I have no problem joining. SAG, although in some turmoil for the last few years, has done a lot of good things for performers. Anyway, this is the second time in a couple of weeks I've been in Danny's office, so I take that as a good sign.
Class last night was great. We're getting much more detailed in refining our work. Several of us were discussing it afterwards and we all feel that the level of work and re-work has jumped up a notch recently. We all need to take more responsibility in coaching one another during rehearsals, so that we push ourselves past comfort zones. One of my classmates told me I didn't seem to feel free enough to have fun lately, and she's right. In my first couple of months, I had that sense of play and gamble that I've lost while I've gotten more and more inside my own "actor head". I'm taking her words to heart and working to cut it loose again in the coming weeks.
