You canNOT teach this in a classroom

The final callbacks for Savin' Up for Saturday Night were probably one of the most interesting experiences I have ever partaken in. We ended up staying until about 1:30am discussing the final picks, and some were still left undecided when we left. During the auditions, each character had several different sides (ranging from a monologue, to a partner scene, to a large group scene, and then one or two songs depending on the character). During the larger group scene portion (which was near the end when each character had been widdled down to no more than four), Jeremy (the director) grouped them specifically to see how different pairs worked together.

There is so much more that I want to share on here, but it would not be in good taste to go into further details on the casting matters as it was one of those "what is said in this room, stays in this room" kind of matters. I'll just say I stand by the recommendation to.... scratch that.... I URGE you to take part in a casting process if you are an actor. The information is INVALUABLE. You will learn so much and get great insight on the real reasons why people do and do not get cast. It is truly amazing.

The show's this weekend should be great as well. It is a three person, one man show. Three very talented individuals will be doing their own performances. I found out though, that I will be in them as well :-DDDD I am SO thrilled about that. Performing in my first LA professional show. MOre details to come about what they are doing and what I am doing!
