I had an audition today - My first

I wont say the name of the show because of the chance they read this and it looks bad

but i will say this show is huge ..it was number 1 for a while and a dream credit for me

I have to add I stopped taking my classes about 4 months ago because my acting was going no where and i live far outside LA.

I was so excited when they called "wow!" thats all i could think.

I went in and bombed I was so nervous I am 100 % certain it ruined me..

I dont understand I am usually cool and calm and a fairly good actor not the best but good enough for a small part like this.

I walked away feeling awful and regretting that i stopped going to class.

Im not sure why I shared this but I hope it helps some one else in a similar situation thinking that they wont get called to audition.

I sent my head shot 3 months ago have no agent but I submitted to her email and she knew my acting coach.

STAY IN CLASS!!


Hi, I am Awesome Guy. Nice to meet you.

don't worry about bombing, Awesome Guy, it happens to the best of us. The trick is to just keep going. Was was the quote from Batman Begins?
" Why do we fall down? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up. "
Just keep trying, don't give up. as long as you stick with it, you WILL make it.

The Truth Monster is right, it happenss to all of us. It is unfortunate that it happened at a major audition.... but one audition can not sink a career. The one casting director might remeber you, but unless you physically injured someone at the audition, they are not going to spread your name/picture to others.
