hey guys! i really dont know much about blogs. ne way.
lets get started with the first one shall we.
bristol old vic at jury hotel in russel st.
arrived-1 1/2 hrs b4 and sat down near the door.
people were very nice. did my monos and didnt fluff and then sang and that went ok.
felt like i did good. nothing much to say there. however it was the east 15 that was one hell of a ride.
arrived at the school 30 mins b4. the we were all divided into our groups. i went with my group for the first part. we did a work shop where we warmed up and ran around the room for a while. but then the tutor just said- ok now edward give us ur mono. with no warning!!!!! so i paniced and just stood up infront of everyone and had to do my speech. now heres the thing. the guy had the worst scottish accent in the world and i just could understand him. he tried to direct me but i just didnt know what he was saying. in the end he got really angry with me and shouted at me. slamming the file on the table and giving me a death look. i was going to cry. i was going to just stand up and leave and not return. the thing is that with everyone else, before they did the speech, he asked them about the play, character, scene etc and then gave them time to get into character. so i thought i was treated a bit unfairly. the worst part was all the other auditionees looked at me like i was the dumbass of the group. even the full time student who was wth us gave me a - ur a twat- look. i began to hate the school.sms den who then told me to not give up. so i went for the shakespear part. different teachere...whose mossi,accent and attitude reminded me of wess lol. really. .... he is his clone lol. ne way. i was last this time and i just gave it my 200000000% i pushed myself like i ve never done b4 and it went well.
after we went for a drink and waited for them to give us an answer. a few mins passed and they were ready. ..... and would u believe it they called out my name!!! i was like huh?? so the others left and i along with 5 others went on. we had singing first and i just belted out my song like hell. after that we had to present our 3 rd speech. this was in front of the 2 guys we had b4 plus the head of the first years who was leading that part of the audition . she sat us down in the theatre and said - rite edward ur first. as i got up she turned to me and said...have u been first today already at some point ? and i said yes...she then said...well u sit back down cos it s not fair to be first more than once in a day. so i sat down feeling very touched by her fairness. so after watching the others i was up and i did my scaparnio.......and they laughed!! they all pissed themselves...really they did. it felt great. then the day was over...i couldnt believe i got that far after that morning thing. one of the other guys who was in the last 6 came up to me and said ...i m really glad they gave u another chance cos u did really well with ur shakespear.
so there we go. just waiting to hear frmo them...but till then i ve got rada to think about. lol.
love u all.

well sounds like u did really not too bad at all! well done! am so proud of you for not letting the weird guy piss you off and upset you. I know how you feel about scottish accents. it took me 2 weeks to get used to it all and some times i can barely understand my own boyfriend! my god scottish weirdness!
