Last night we conducted auditions for our christmas masterpiece. As soon as I arrived I could tell it was gonna be a long, hard night. There were much more than I imagined there would be and they all seemed so lovely, nice and enthusiastic. I didn't know what we were gonna do.
So we started auditioning them. We got them to play a few games before doing some group work. Usually at auditions I've been to or sat in on, by this point you can definitely see a few people who you don't want a and a few who you reallly do. This one was different. At this audition at this point I wanted to ignore the script and just cast everyone there but unfortunately I knew that wouldn't work and would cause problems in the long run so I started to try and think a little more harshly. And I really had to try.
Soon the auditions were over and me and Louise had to make some of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make. It took hours of deliberating just to decide who we wanted and could realistically have. After that we then escorted ourselves to Starbucks to futher tackle the problems of who gets who, where we still wanted to stuff all the people who we hadn't cast back into the cast, but we then faced up to the problem that this would be impractical. After an hour and a hot chocolate we finally had a cast list which were satisfied with. But as we walked away I still wish we could've used everyone. Everyone who attended the auditions was great in ther own way. I could've seen each of them taking a role but alas we had no more room. To anyone who's reading this who audtioned but didn't get in you were brilliant and please don't let this put you off acting, especially with Bounce. It was so hard and I didn't sleep well last night as a result. Don't give up, you were great!
