This is topic Taking a trip to the Middle Ages... anyone want to join me? (Now with pictures!) in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
So, last week... I auditioned for the musical "Camelot," while I was sick. I was really nervous about the audition, and I did terribly, because I lost all my energy in the middle of my song, since I had the flu.
Well, last night, the lady called me and said she wanted me to come back for callback auditions tonight, and read for Guenevere!!!
Wish me luck, everyone! I'm off in a few hours... I'll post the results of the audition when I find out!
*faints*

*Interperets the vibes*
Ok, weird, but ok
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Thanks for the good luck and vibes everyone...
I haven't found out the results yet, but that was by far the worst audition I've ever done. Oy. I'd be lucky to get the part of Arthur's horse, let alone Guenevere, or anyone else remotely memorable.
I'll still post the results once I find out though. Ugh, I'm so exasperated with myself!
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
Good luck! It's never as bad as it seems.
Posted by MaydayDesiax (Member # 5012) on :
Congrats on the recall! I'll bet you did fine! (((Raia)))
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
I really don't think I did, but thanks... I haven't found out yet.
Posted by tt&t (Member # 5600) on :
Hope you get the part, Raia. I'm sure you did great.

Barring those of you who will refuse certain parts, we would be happy to have all of you in the show in some capacity, we're just trying to figure out the best combination.
The first rehearsal is on Sunday. It is a chorus rehearsal. I will let you know by thursday if you need to be there. Thank you for your time and patience. --Kim.
Aaaaaah!! I don't have time OR patience!!
*sigh* I don't know if I'll make it through this week... I might explode first...
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Well, she said she'd send the e-mail today if you needed to be at rehearsal on sunday... it's almost 11:00 pm, and it hasn't come yet. I think that's a pretty sure sign that I didn't get the part.
Oh well, I think I still get to be in the chorus.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Like I said, I didn't get the part... Kim just called. I'm in the chorus though, so at least I get to perform, which ultimately is the part I love.
Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
Believe me, I sympathize.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
((((Ic)))) Yeah... it's not so much not getting the part that bothered me, it was knowing that I could have done SO much better at the audition, and that that may be what stopped me from getting it. I hate that feeling.
Posted by prolixshore (Member # 4496) on :
Sorry to hear that Raia. I sympathize...sorta. Err, I have been around while people went through the same thing as you, even if I've never actually been there myself, hows that?
Well, just accept my condolence vibes anyway and I hope you have a blast in the chorus!

Thanks, AR. Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :
Speaking of a trip to the middle ages, I just got back from my towns renaissance festival. Pretty cool Everyone is in costume and they have everythign you'd expect to find in a midevil town.

Even Water Wenches?? Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :
Washing wenches?
Posted by Wussy Actor (Member # 5937) on :
And the black plague?
Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :
They had every midevil torture device i could think of(and some i couldn't). And weapons galore! I got to shoot a crossbow, load a connon, hang a dummy, behead a dummy, stretch a dummy on a rack. Oh how fun it was!
Edit: Oh and they had people pretending they had the black plague. It was pretty entertaining.

I dunno, but I can't see the image.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Gah. It worked for me! I'll try to figure it out... sorry everyone.
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
I think it's because only you have access to the image...
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
You know, after all this buildup, it's so not going to be worth it... it's just a poster.
But I'm trying to fix it anyway, I'm downloading something I can upload pictures onto. Then when I actually have real pictures, too, I can put them up the same way!
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
I'll post more through there when I have ACTUAL pictures... that's just a poster, but it's still cool-looking, I think!
Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :
Looks really cool! I wish I could see it.
I wish I could be in it too, but we both know what a disaster that would be.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
Oh hush, no it wouldn't... though if you weren't comfortable singing, you could always play in the orchestra!
Ok, that's it, now you have to come to Israel, and play in the orchestra with us. It's going to be so much fun, I'm excited... but it would be more fun if you were here!
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
Oh Raia, that's awesome, even if you didn't get the part you wanted! I'm involved in a show with shiny posters too, and for the first time wokring backstage - set designer. I've discovered a whole new world of theatre .
Posted by Intelligence3 (Member # 6944) on :
Congrats! I'll, uh, be there in spirit.

Opening night tonight!
And guess what? I lost my voice!!!
I have a little bit of it left, I didn't lose it completely, but I was really sick this week, and this is apparently the result. I went to the doctor this morning, and she said "you have to SING?! Forget it! You can't even TALK for the next three days!" I almost started crying right there in her office, and I told her I absolutely have to sing, so she gave me an inhaler that she gives to people who need a very drastic recovery of their voice... she didn't want to at first, but she saw how much I needed my voice tonight! I took it a little while ago... everybody wish me luck! I hope I can sing tonight!

Posted by FriendlyNeighborhoodWitch (Member # 6317) on :
Oh, how exciting! Good luck Raia! Don't forget to have fun!
You must come back this evening, though, and tell us how things went!
Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :
Jeez. I think she only has 2 legs. Do you want her to break her legs in more than 1 spot?
I only wish you a broken phalange, Raia. May your legs stay intact.
And good luck, too Posted by Tater (Member # 7035) on :
I think Sir Kaioshin should have said "I wish you only.." We learned that "only" is often used incorrectly.
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
I just got back.
The show was a great success... I didn't sing at all during the chorus numbers, unless I had a solo (which happens twice during the show). I sang those softer and not as well as I normally would, but I managed to make it through them!
Now, however, my voice is completely, entirely gone. Far far more than it was earlier! And another show tomorrow!
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
Oh no! (((Raia))) Well at least the first show went well Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
I put the pictures in chronological order, and if you actually click on them, there's a short description for each. So don't worry, those of you who don't know the story.
I'm the girl with the flaming red hair in some of the shots, but in most of the ones I'm in, I state which one I am. So you'll be able to tell.
