actors and idk various nice people of tumblr!!!! i need your help!!!!
auditions for my school's production of peter and the starcatcher are this tuesday and wednesday (haven't decided which day i'm going). i'm a senior, and have been in every single production i can at my school aside from one musical because i thought i couldn't sing (i then proceeded to do three musicals, two in programs outside of my school).
skip to the ******* if you don't want all this context and want to get to the main idea of this post!!!!
i want the role of blackstache really bad. i genuinely think i'm a good fit for the role! while i'm not too confident in my singing, i've gotten good roles in the 2/3 musicals i was in, so maybe i'm selling myself short.
a few days ago, i was talking to a friend in the grade below me, and when i mentioned blackstache was a singing role, he said something along the lines of “oh, i’ll get it then” or “yes!!!” or “easy” (i don't actually remember what it was). so crazy rude. (if u think im overreacting, just know i have expressed to this person multiple times that i get major anxiety around auditions and am self conscious about my singing. also they have never heard me sing alone/not in ensamble before). but this person is an incredibly talented singer, so it's relatively realistic that they get the role (even if i'm a senior).
because i am a petty bitch, i now need the role. so bad. i want karma to come in and give me the role so i can prove that guy wrong, and he gets humbled. he's a friend of mine, i love them, but that was an incredibly rude thing to do. so as much as i care about this guy as my friend, i do want to see him be incredibly wrong after saying such a rude thing. i've worked really hard to get to where i am in terms of performing on stage, and i just don't like when people are upfront and open about thinking they're better than you.
i'd be happy with any role, and i am preparing myself to not get blackstache, but that said i will do everything in my power to get the role, so when i don't get it, i can at least say i did all i could!
*******
tldr: i need the role because i'm petty and want karma/revenge. any tips for my audition? specific to the role or otherwise.
