Will My Mucus Bring Me Fame & Fortune? I had an audition yesterday. I wasn�t going to mention it cause we all remember the hatching-chicken-counting fiasco last time. The premise of the short film is this � A husband and wife have just lost their two year old daughter in a drowning incident. The father is very cut off, the mother is emotion aplenty. Scene 3 was the one where she broke down completely and was blaming her husband for the child�s death and just realising the everyday things that were different. The director told us to just improv a bit. I think I may have scared the bloke auditioning opposite me. There was much screaming and blaming and tears and snot dripping. It was in the script though...so I thought I should try my darndest to add that realism. I totally jumped into the character�s skin and I can�t even remember half of what I said. A direct quote from the director was: �WOW! You produced your own mucus. I�m impressed!� I don�t think I will care too much if I don�t get this one. True, the script is brilliant, the part is great and my audition was the best I have ever done. But maybe I just did it to prove to myself that I could do a nose-er-mind-blowing audition. Of course if I do get the part and one day you're looking up at the Earth's ceiling and see a sky writing plane declaring "The Best Day Ever" you know it's probably me. Years from now when I�m up on that stage accepting my BAFTA or Oscar I�ll be reserving a special thank you for my mucus that got me started all those years ago. *sniff* Tyd 11 June 2003 - 10:34 am |
