I like to be in waiting rooms with people as they're auditioning, because their terror calms me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you go on an audition it's very frightening.
Auditioning is the most terrifying thing I've ever done. There must have been four or five of them where I completely froze up and walked out of the room. My palms get sweaty just thinking about it.
I've really fought to get into rooms, and I'm a big believer in auditioning. It's hard, because I'm insecure, but I have an intense desire to prove myself to people.
For me, I love auditioning.
I hate auditioning; it makes me more nervous than anything ever, and I always feel like I wasted my time and I could have been creating my own thing. With the Internet, you have so much freedom that 'gatekeepers' make me terrified.
As much as I hate auditioning - it's so hard and awkward - it's way better to walk out of that room and win a role because of what you did.
Sometimes you go into a waiting room, and the audition room is right there, and the walls are extremely thin. And you can hear every breath that they're saying. And you're used to that. So you go in, and you're like, 'Oh, whatever.'
I think fear is unavoidable and that, when recognized and embraced, it's something that can work for you - especially in the audition room.
There's no substitute to actually being in the room and having people in the room feel the force of your audition. It's very hard to beat that.
Auditions make me nervous; any time I have to perform, I get stage fright.
