My trip to Michigan was fascinating!
To begin with from the moment I entered detroit DTW) I could tell I was in another World. I honestly briefly thought I might have gotten off at the wrong stop because the first language I heard over the intercom was Korean, and following that, chinese. However I learned very quickly this was one of the most used airports into the USA for Business people coming in from China. So that explained that. Then I wondered over to Metro cars and cautiously approached them. I was informed in the most gracious manner my car was late. I was dissapointed but was prepared to accept this with grace when the man in charge told me he had upgraded me to a Limo free of charg. Now, I learned two things how to take something amazing like as a blessing and act like I did it every day just like the Business guy's. So needless to say I arrived in style. ;-)
After I arrived at the hotel I hung up my clothes and went and literally INHALED 2 meals and passed out for 15 hours. The next morning I talked to gram and the rest of my support panel and went off to my audition. Boy was I not prepared for what came next. The audition had been moved to a Church and my time is right after service gets out! haha. weirdness. So at first I hung out in the pews and prayed and then I turned around and what did I see? 8 women all blonde in purple and black little dresses sitting outside in the reception area STARING at me.
As I sat there in my suit and red hair I thought "Oh goodness.... I feel so out of place. So I got nervous and moved into the reception area where I recieved a chilly response. How you sit there without conversing and networking for an hour is beyond me) however I guess that's how this works. lol So after lots of sizingg up and a meeting some stage mommies) yes 30 year old women travel with their mothers to these auditions I have learned) it was finally my turn to sing. By then I was so shook up I was not at my best. However I went up and said hello handed over my forms, and asked where I was supposed to stand since there was not a stage. Apparently that was obvious too lol cause the director yelled at me. So a very educational experience indeed. This Tuesday I have another audition not call back) for Pittsburgh residency. My head is in two places. "One is nervous, but honestly, I tend to learn from my mistakes. :-) my biggest concern at this point finding the stupid audition place and what to wear... I really found wearing a suit does not make me feel very comfortable. and all my dresses are black or Purple. LOL. So I need to find an audition outfit that makes me feel amazing. Maybe dress pants and a nice shirt? Goodness it's hard to figure out what the judges want. I think I'll just be fabulous show them who I am in 7 minutes. Being someone I wasn't sure didn't work last time. Oh well, I havr this a recital, and 2 more Call backs as of now! I think trial, error and practice is what it's going to take to Master this. So this time I'll keep my mouth shut, and wear something wear I can feel my breath. ;-) Cest la vie!
