Da Huang Pictures audition

With college coming nearer,
I’d avoid going to auditions unless I can gain something from the audition ITSELF.

And THIS is one of the few auditions that I’ll feel accomplished just by going there.

On Saturday & Sunday (3rd - 4th May 2008),
Da Huang Pictures had their Web Shop Launch on those days,
aside from also having auditions for their future films.

So I went there for two reasons:

• Purchase ‘Flower In The Pocket’.
• Go for the audition.

 

This was held at The Annexe during the Art For Grabs that weekend.
Too bad I didn’t pay much attention to this ‘funfair’ at first.
(Yep, I call these types of events- Funfair)

There was a lot going on there and so many things to do.
It would have been really fun.

AUDITION - Red Comm

TUESDAY, 25TH FEB 2008, 4:30PM

From inside the car, I was staring at the Red Communications studio door.

“I’m supposed to be in the audition room by now.
I’m going to be late.
B- But… DOGS!”

It seems that the dogs felt that I’m unworthy to audition for the series.
They kept circling around the area like sharks waiting to bite my head off.

I saw a man coming up to RedComm’s studio.
He had such a confident and talented aura that
even the dogs made way for him.

It’s a sign that they think that he’s more than worthy.

I quickly tagged along with that man.

I was right to say that he was confident.
No, not snobbish.
Confident.

He was very talkative.
I had a brief conversation with him but I didn’t let it flow.

I only got to know that he’s a theater actor and it’s his second time going to a screen audition.

“Stay focused! Keep re-reading the script until they call you!”

They called us into the room together.

“Oh shoot! Don’t tell me I have to act with HIM?!”

The scene was about how I break it to my boyfriend (him) that he’s not the one for me and I’m actually in love with another guy

Why am I fussing about this?

It’s because he was born in 1973!
That’s 17 year older than me.

It would look hella awkward to treat him like a casual boyfriend.
Not to mention, it would be like a pedophile scene!

Audition: TOS

Ever since Snips, I haven’t got the courage to go to a single audition for production.

Which is why I’ll mark 2007 as an empty year in terms of ‘work’.

Whenever opportunities spring, I would cowardly hide away from those chances.

As February entered, I’ve realized that there are possibilities of me moving to another state.

So I swore to myself that I should at least just accomplish a few other things before furthering my studies.

And the only considerable audition around that time was from a youth theater group- TOS.

I signed up for the audition without giving myself a chance to pull back.

By doing that, I’ve taken a few leaps:

1. Marking my first production audition since 2006.
2. First stumble into theater.

It’s one of the stupider things I’ve done in work,

yet it’s a somewhat meaningful step.

Here’s my dad’s take on it,

“You WON’T get it.
Theater and the piece itself is something very foreign to you.
You haven’t even watched a proper theater show.
How can you pull it off?“

17th February, Sunday
7:30pm

I entered the room to see 5 people.

Oh hell.
I get easily intimidated by seeing so many people judging me.

I got real nervous.
No. I wasn’t shaking or anything.

My mouth literally went dry

.So dry that my lips got STUCK to my teeth!
I couldn’t even close my mouth properly!
And I couldn’t close my mouth throughout the monologues.

My acting for the monologues were horrible.
No further details needed.

—————–

Because it is obvious that I sucked at monologues,
they gave me an improv session.

Generally, they’re going to give me a situation.
Based on that, I’ll have to act and improvise on it.

Another “Oh, hell” moment.

I’ve had a very horrible experience with this session back in 2006.
(College students, they were really mean then)

THE SITUATION:

“Think of a teacher that you strongly dislike and emulate her.”

I took about 2 minutes to think and calm myself down from the previous “Oh hell!” moments.

“Chemistry teacher.Act like she knows everything when she knows nothing.”

LOCKED that in my head and went with it.

Audition: Mystery 6

A while back, I was reminiscing back on the first audition I’ve went to.
Of course, the first audition was for SBS’s drama team.
But then I remembered about the first ever audition I went for a tv series.

Hmmm… That was way back during the middle of Form 4 (16, 2006).
It was certainly a show with a different twist than the normal local shows around.
I wonder what happened to that show…

So this evening, I googled for Razif Hashim’s name.

I stumbled into an article of him and took the initiative to search more on him.
Yeah, I’ll admit that I had a slight crush on him back from his early days as Haikal in Gol & Gincu
– That badass guy!

I googled around for him and… I found an article from Youth2 on a tv show, Mystery 6 (M6).

I read the first 2 lines, and find myself being pretty familiar with that plot.
Then I saw the words “Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven and Famous Five” and “Alfred Hitchcock’s”.

Woah! Those were the EXACT words that came out from that guy at my first audition!

I scanned through the article and confirmed that it was indeed the show that I have auditioned for!
