Day 463: Callbacks

Just to clear up any confusion, here is the date timeline for the auditions.

August 26: Audition Prep
August 27: Auditions
August 28: Callback Prep
August 29: Callbacks
August 30: Cast List

The Audition prep is what I was doing to settle in while mom was re-establishing my dorm. Then I had the audition post. For the Callback prep, just read the audition prep post but with callbacks. However, I'll explain a little bit about how callbacks work. You are given musical sides and acting sides for the character(s) you're called back for. A side is a short excerpt of a song or scene that the callback people perform so the judges can visualize you as that character easily. Sometimes, they do multiple pairings of actors to see who works together in appearance and acting style. It must sound tedious, and quite frankly, it is. Although, I love it too much to even notice how tedious it is. Imagine though hearing the same scene and same song over and over and over again, but it's part of the process and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
