A Week in the Life ... (Wednesday - 3 of 7)

*If just reading this series for the first time make sure to start at Monday September 8th*

9:30 – “beep … beep … beep” as I wake up realizing its 9:30 I’m saddened to think that this feels like sleeping in to me now but very relieved to have actually gotten a decent night’s sleep

10:00 – take Zoka out for a nice run at the park

11:00 – sit down at my desk to get a bunch of work done for my internet job

3:00 – take a little break and try to decide if I want to go to an audition later that evening

4:00 – decide to go to audition so start getting myself ready and take Zoka out to the park again

5:30 – leave the house

6:00 – arrive at audition – theatre is located in Greenich Village and I literally have to walk right through the middle of a major movie being filmed to get to the door of the theatre

6:05 – sign in (I’m #3) and sit down to wait for an hour (audition starts at 7:00). While sitting I work on my blog since I can’t get any internet connection and stare at the other girls slowly arriving for the audition. Most auditions in New York are during the day, so I have not been to many evening auditions. I notice that it is definitely a different crowd here, I see very few of the same people I always see at the morning auditions.

7:00 – Called upstairs to wait for my audition

7:05 – Sing 16 bars, asked how comfortable I am with harmonies, and how flexible my schedule is

7:15 – leave audition, walk back through movie set

8:00 – home to begin preparing for another day

9:00 – do a little bit more work for internet job, check emails, figure out plan for Thursday, pack lunch and bag of clothes, print more resumes … realize I’m out of staples and make mental note to go to office supply store before auditions tomorrow (resumes are stapled to the back of my headshots)

12:00 – bed time

*These type of days I usually refer to as my “slacker days” because I feel as if I slacked off and didn’t accomplish a lot. Some of this feeling comes from the fact that when I work at home it doesn’t feel like I’m AT work … then I have to remind myself its still a job and no, I am not a slacker for having one slower paced day!
