I’ve auditioned for major roles before and didn’t get them. It’s disappointing. But why do you need a major roll? Not everyone can get the roll. Doesn’t make you a failure. And remember that who gets the roll is the subjective opinion of the people selecting them. Doesn’t actually mean they are the best. I didn’t get roles before for certain things and I know it’s because the drama club had favorites. Just do your best and fuck everything else. Hell, go and wing it if you want. You don’t have to be perfect.
This is true. Thank you so much 💛
Wishing you the best on the audition and with it all 💙
Thank you 💛
I took an acting class in highschool, I was nervous about learning my lines for different skits and memorization. But then i realized that everyone in there is probably just as nervous as I was! It doesnt matter if you recite everything perfectly or if you don't get the starring role. As long as you're happy with your performance and yourself that is enough to be proud of :) there are no failures here hun
Thank you :) I’m really hoping I do well
@OCDumb >:( I feel like you might be a bit of a perfectionist like I am, so I completely understand the need to be perfect. But being perfect is dumb, overwhelming...and boring tbh :) you got this!
@alexisrae1999 😂😂😂 that’s true. I’m a huge huge perfectionist- so much so that it’s likely one of my OCD themes. Thanks a ton :)
You won’t be a laughing stock. I know it’s nerve racking right now but just being in a play is a lot of fun. I was in the drama club and I got big roles and small roles either or it was still fun no matter what role I got. I also made a lot of friends in plays was in and the drama club. It will be alright, just remember to have fun 😊
Thank you :) this means a lot
I'm reading the scripts over and over but I'm not getting anxious Is that a problem?
I’m moving from a group art studio into my own space tomorrow and I can’t sleep. I feel like I’m going to throw up from anxiety and I’m crying because I feel like I’m going to fail before I get started. My friends are excited to help but it feels like I’m taking advantage of them. Everyone wants to see me win but it feels like I don’t deserve it. I feel selfish. I have harm OCD and I’m really struggling with keeping my violent thoughts under control so I can try to sleep so I can be on time tomorrow. I don’t want to ruin the day tomorrow by not waking up on time. It feels like I can’t breathe.
I have two AP Tests this week and one of my intrusive thoughts has always been that I will never get into college (I have a 4.0 gpa) I had a panic attack last night and I’m honestly so terrified I can’t even think straight even though I’ve done all I can to prepare. So now I just have to stare at the wall until I have to drive to the testing place in the morning. I can’t sleep, or eat or do anything but worry.
