Usually it doesn't bother me if I'm part of the production, but last year I just didn't bother with the show at all since I was juggling being on varsity, class, and advancing in a speech competition our school usually loses in...after I didn't get the part. What bothered me, is I read for the role four times (you'd think after having me there on two audition dates, and a call back for the main cast, he would be able to like hand out the minor roles accordingly), and apparently the director was trying to get from be what I brought to the table the first time totally unintentionally. (And it was a bad habit of sorts I was trying to break...)
I like that for this years show the director has already announced unofficially that basically all the main female roles have been cast in his head. I'm trying to figure out who he has in mind for the role I'm going for, but I definitely want to put money on who I think the lead is...and it's going to be an underclassmen!

Posted: 9/23/06 at 6:52pmI also hated in Highschool, well, mine anyways, if you werent in Drama club, you werent even concidered for a lead role. I was pissed too because I had to chose between Drama Club and Yearbook, and Yearbook I was already in before I got really really interested in Drama.

Someone once told me this:
"My philosophy, callbacks mean they saw talent, casting is off of other stuff outside your control."
You can't worry too much about casting. You never know what's in someone else's head. If they call you back and want to see more of you, that's GREAT! Not getting it after that doesn't make you a failure.

If I had a dollar for each time I went through this, I'd be a billionaire by now! LMAO.
For some reason, if I wasn't in the ensemble (not that that is a bad thing--I had some good experiences from it), I was either cast as a mother or some "older" figure. I even got a small part in an unreleased indy film as a social worker. Frankly, I'll just be gracious about losing a part and chalk it up to experience. Things happen for a reason.
