CCA auditions


today, i went downtown chicago for my audition. i had to walk to the train station and its super hot outside, its like im in manila. so yeah, i got there an hour early for the next train to come. i was bored and i realized that i dint have my breakfast yet. i was starving and sweating like crazy. finally the train comes and it was an express. there were a lot of people goin downtown to see lollapalooza somethin. i dont really know what that is. and again i was an hour early so i just hanged out at mcdonalds and got somethin to eat. then after that i tried to follow the directions i got online, but i think its not working for me so i just asked someone for directions. good thing the guy i asked was goin to the same place where im goin, i thought he's gonna be auditioning too.

the audition was ok. i think i did well. but i dunno if i'll get the call back. it took i think 15 minutes. the director made me do some vocalizations. i thought i know everything already but he made me do somethin that im not really used. but what surprised me was when he made me sight read some latin music. i never thought that i can be good in sight reading. i think thats the best part of the audition coz i was amazed with myself. hah! the last part is for me to sing one song. i did an a cappella of moonriver. singing a cappella by myself makes me uncomfortable. i can say that it wasnt my best singing. but i think i did ok, but i kinda lose the quality of my voice at the ending. the director thinks the key i chose was low so he made me sing it again at a higher register. and i think i sounded better. =P so yeah, thats it. i just have to wait for the results. i'll just hope for the best and see if i'll get the call backs. hmm, but what ever the result is, i would be happy. coz i know i did my best and for me, thats what matters most^^

after the audition i went straight back to union station but the train leaves at 4:30 so i have more than an hour to wait. so i just went out and sit somewhere for a while. and there's this guy who came to me and asked me for a single. man, this weird but almost everytime i go downtown, there's always someone asking me for money and telling me the same story that they have to catch a trip and they dont have enough money to buy tickets blah blah. i gave him a dollar. who know, they might be an angel in disguise. LOL. yeah whatever. hmm, and oh yeah, while i was sittin there by the entrance, i saw the two lesbians i used to hang out wit. i dunno why, but i just hurried and took my sun glasses and wear it. LOL. i dont want them to see me. and im not usually like that. but anyways, OMGSHH theyre still together. maybe they got married. but thats not my business. LOL.

hmmm so finally after waiting for a million years, the train was ready to leave. then i got home but unfortunately no one's home and i dont have a key. so i went to subway to get somethin to eat. i could have just stayed outside the house and wait but i was really hungry and it was hot and my back hurts so bad. it was torture.

so thats my lil story of my trip. i have to sleep now. first day of work tomorrow. yikes.
