I had my first commercial audition yesterday!  Not my first ever, but the first with my new agent.  Not a bad turn around as she has only been submitting me for about two weeks. I went into the audition relaxed and ready for anything.  I had a lot of fun and did my best…which is all anyone can hope for, right? On the way home, my contentment started to give way to doubt.  I started to think about all of the things that I could have done. ‘What if’s’ swirled around in my head as I drove until I was so annoyed I had to talk myself down. I remind myself that what I did in that moment was enough. I thought about all the classes and teachers I’ve had who have given me the tools to do my best.  And I remembered all the great friends I have who cheer on my every victory and put every rejection into perspective.

At that point I was just glad I was given the opportunity to put myself out there.    That, in itself, is pretty awesome.
