The day I didn't take a professional headshot to an audition

Rookie mistake.

In my defense, I wasn't aware how professional an atmosphere it would be. When you're auditioning to be a drama teacher for 4-8 year olds, you expect the teaching aspect to me more important than the professional actor side to it. But when everyone was talking about their time at drama schools, touring with companies, asking about time off for auditions, and handing over glossy A4 black and white headshots that had clearly been taken in a studio with some fabulously serious photographer called Sven, you start to re-think what you'd originally 'thunk.' And then when they tell you to stand up and sing four lines from your 'audition song' when you'd never prepared an audition song in your life, and you quickly have to remember your spotify playlist and which of the songs you can actually remember the tune to (almost impossible when put on the spot), you start to realise that there are people in the same room who are far more prepared...

I still have my fingers crossed for the job though. Even if I did hand over a 75p Asda Print of a picture I'd taken this morning with less than perfect makeup...

Eep.
