Cough cough, It starts. As the long stories go, I have managed to become my own boss and get auditions for myself. Whether it’s for modeling, singing, dancing or acting; I scope out what I would like to go for.
My audition, my first mission - To make a female R&B band and become famous!
Well, although I’m not sure I made the band yet, I will find out in a week. The night starts:
5:30pm Philip drives into the parking lot from his first day of work. Walking up the stairs he notices his shoe is untied. Quickly tying it up, he proceeds to the door, walks in and gets into something more comfortable.
6:00pm Megan and Phil proceeded to the train station in little Toby Blue, Park, grab the tickets and await for what should be a very interesting night. After all what could go wrong?
6:20pm The train comes and they try to get inside realizing the door was locked! The whistle blows and they run to the next door, jumping into the train they sat down and sank into their chairs.
6:30pm Over a lovely conversation, Phil suddenly asks Megan where they need to go? In shock Megan realizes she has forgotten the sheet with all the information on it! Quickly she calls Gee Gee and writes down the information on the back of a tube direction chart. Another disaster eliminated as the train rides on.
7:00pm The train arrives at Central Station, Megan and Phil start walking to the tube. Stopping in his tracks, Phil notices a big sign stating that the Northern line is shut down and to please use another line. Disaster 3, that’s the line we needed to take to get to the Ghetto of London. We plan B it, and take two different lines, setting us back about a half n hour.
7:45pm Dashing off the train we take our left (way out) and enter into a very sketchy tube platform. This was called 'Elephant and Castle' We walked as quick as we could, now starting to slip off the edge of time and surface our way up to the street.
7:55pm With the clippity clop of my stiletto sling backs, we walked silently observing everyone and everything around us. People would pass and eye you down as if to say 'Don’t try anything on me' finally getting to our down the alley way street! We approached a building that was playing extremely loud music. Rang the doorbell and entered into what would be the interesting part of our night.
8:05pm I had made it on time and walked to the reception area to grab some forms. Phil and I both looked around and noticed we were surely now in the ghetto. The place was filled with ghetto folk and very little whites. We felt so out of place and the looks we were getting didn’t help in the least. We chose a couch and sat down.
8:45pm The lady in charge of the girl group audition finally gave me a form to fill out. I filled it out but this time I decided to be myself. Short answers getting right to the point. If they didn't want me, I didn’t need them.
9:00pm Phil and I met with the manager of one of the bands playing at the Much Music awards! Asking him a few questions about the industry, he answered politely, kissed my cheek and wished me good luck.
9:45pm I finally get called. It’s my time to shine! Walking into the audition room I noticed a group of 4-5 people just looking at me. They were the posh type, defiantly knew what they wanted. I stated my name and age as I looked into the camera. The guy filming then took his SLR and shot me twice with it. I showed humor and personality through the picture taking. Let’s face it; no one likes people who just stand there stiff and smile!
10:00pm After singing two songs, one chosen by them, I aced it. Every note was there, the expression, I felt the music and I loved it. I was so into it, I had forgotten the few nerves I had and pushed out my vocals so the angels could hear them. It was so good it could have been a cd. They sat me down for about 15 minutes and talked to me about everything. How I wouldn’t be making a profit at the start because at first it’s all promoting. However once a record label picks the group up that’s when it starts becoming more of a reality.
10:15pm I walk out and smile. Even if I don’t get the part, I know I did my best and I was thrilled that it went that well.
12:30pm Phil and Megan finally arrive home. Its now bed time after a long hard days work!
