You have a network behind you - we just don't have the power to hire you, per se. Hehe! :)<br /><br />Second of all, it's a lesson and you seem to have gotten a lot out of the experience. In a way, it's good that it happened in class and not in an audition, right?<br /><br />Third of all (do you even say that?), I totally understand and stand behind everything you said in this post. In this career, we will sometimes simply not "get" the script. AT ALL. It could be bad writing, sure, it could be the fact that we just don't get it, but whatever it is, we just have to make it work. It's not our job to critique the script or blame the script - we just have to make it work and get hired. I just recently worked on a project where my interpretation of the script was very different from that of the writers. When we did the read-through, I noticed that there were quite a few lines that they cracked up at; lines that I interpreted as "less than stellar". I did my best to adjust my performance and make it work so that their vision could come alive. It felt a bit fake, but in the end isn't that a part our job? I suppose when you have a season as part of the main cast on a show, you can challenge the script and mold it more to you and your style, but when you're auditioning for a pilot, you have to make it work and make their vision come alive despite your feelings about it. Maybe I'm totally missing my mark here, but that's the way I see it at this point in my career.<br /><br />Either way, ("fourth of all"), don't be so hard on yourself. You're awesome! :)<br /><br />xoxox!Toronto Actresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385671078229768475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003375476054427023.post-64666636656127866972010-10-14T17:06:47.720-07:002010-10-14T17:06:47.720-07:00@See, I'm using Blogger - it's free, I can...@See, I'm using Blogger - it's free, I can link the heck out of it, upload tons of pictures, and make it our own.

You will never forget this and you won't make this mistake again. Harder. Faster. Stronger. You need to hit my blog from Saturday for a pick-me-up.
