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?
Hey guys, this isn’t really pertaining OCD too much but I’ve been super stressed out with school and I have ADHD as well so it makes managing my time really a bit harder so I take much longer on assignments and I have exams that I need to catch up on because I failed them and I have three exams this week sort of back-to-back and I’m just worried but I know it’s not the end of the world. It just feels so suffocating. I’m just looking for advice and kind words and encouragement, and a reminder that this isn’t the end of the world/: thanks
Ugh I am really struggling at the moment. I basically feel completely overwhelmed and sick from anxiety all day and like I’m on the verge of a panic attack. All my energy goes into not having a panic attack or crying or breaking down which is so draining. It’s also worse with going back to school and I’m in year 12 so I have so much work and it’s so hard and I don’t think I’m going to get the grades I want. Normally I would really care about this but I just don’t have the motivation and that in itself scares me because I don’t want to look back on this year and regret not trying harder but it’s just too much. Also one of my closest friends recently cut herself completely out of my group so there is so much drama and it just makes everything 20 times worse because I have to deal with that which feels so petty and insignificant as well as what is happening inside my head which feels so real. One day at a time literally feels like to big of a task even one minute or second does.
