How to be in a play"Less than two hours at an audtion and two months of rehearsal SHOULD according to all and every scientific expirement, really suck for an eleven-year-old...but I've been in the business ever since! :D"
How I did it: I did a cutesy little stupid play at my school when I was in 6th grade and I was automatically in love with making all those people laugh. When my mom realized this she asked if I wanted to try out for Fairfield High School's Summer Theater program that was doing Oliver! that summer. I tried out and landed a spot as one of the townspeople. I was eleven. And I was an extra...And from then on I was hooked for life!!! :D Lessons & tips: Practice insanely for your audition and don't be discouraged if you don't make it or you don't land a leading role. Usually if you're not as experienced, it'll take you a while to make a speaking role unless you really blow them away at your audition, which not many people do. I mean, look at me. I did get a nice supporting role second time around, but hell it took me three years to get an actually leading role. Don't worry if you aren't Elphaba or Eponine at first. Keep up your work and the theater will eventually return the favor. Resources: www.cinstages.com and my music teacher have been enormous helpers when finding auditions in my area. And if you aren't lucky enough to have so much community theater surrounding you, look at your local drama club, or even talk to someone in the closest city. If you look for theater, it'll come I promise :) |

How I did it: I joined a school provided Drama group, where we did two plays, A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist. I practiced at home as well as the weekly practices we got as a group. In this way I was able to memorize my lines and get into character faster than anyone else. Read how I did it…

It happened yesterday. I played the Witch in our university play. I never was on stage before, and it went so well! I did mess up a few things, but it was unnoticeable for people who didn’t know the play. I was so scared before the play, but after, I was so pleased with myself. We were congratulated later by a professor who said “You were all great, but you – he pointed at me and shook my hand – were the best”. I got so happy I almost cried.
desire to be on stage. I love watching plays and admire how brave the actors on stage are. i think it would really be fun and challenging to go through the whole auditioning phase. i would really love to complete this goal by the end of the year!
i’m going to start researching local plays and see what i come with.
I’ve been in a whole bunch of plays, back in high school. It was one of my absolute favorite things to do. I was Viola in Twelfth Night, I was Charlotte Corday in Marat/Sade, I love love loved every minute of it.
Now I’m at university, no theater acting is available for non-BFA students..kinda feels like a part of my soul is missing! I want to find a little shakespeare group or something. I can’t sing to save my life, so musicals are out.
Ribbet is sick. Oh noes.
I’m auditioning for a play at my school on Tuesday. Unfortunately, there are only 8-10 female parts, and about 20 girls are auditioning.
Hopefully I’ll get it!

I sent in my deposit to take a 4 or 5 week acting class starting in January on Wednesday nights. If the first class sucks, I won’t go back, but hopefully it’ll be fun. People who know me say it’s something I should do, and I’m looking forward to it. Yay for trying new things.
secondchance12307 is not pursuing his goals hard enough
So I took up a drama class. I am the most introverted, insecure, and quiet person ever. I only took the class so I wouldn’t have to study and read. It was going to be hell because I can’t get in front of people. I’m always afraid of making mistakes and looking foolish; every thought an insecure person has, I had it.
Now I’m actually having fun. Although I hate memorizing scripts, I’m able to get up and act in front of people. I’m having fun not being insecure me. I love it.
If I can act in a play, it’s going to be one hell of an accomplishment. I love the fact that I’m starting to get over my insecurities now.

I’m excited about this. I have the opportunity to join the drama group at my university. I’m going to take it. The classes are on Fridays from 8 to 11 P.M. – it’s a bit late, but that way it doesn’t get in the way of my studying, because who studies that late on Friday anyway? (even I don’t do it) Of course I want to take a few classes first, to see if I like it, before actually being sure I want to do this. But if I don’t do it next year, I’ll do it sometime in another year. I’ve just always wanted to be on stage, hear the applause… I did a little role play with my friends in English class last year – it was only a 10-minute thing, by no means a play, but I joined it so much it made me want to do something in theater. I just hope I’m not too bad at this because even though I enjoy acting, I’m definitely not a natural actor like some people.
