AUDITIONS AUDITIONS AUDITIONS FREAKS ME OUT!!!!

My husband says you can't say you an actress but you hate auditions, but its the truth i hate auditions they make  me look like i made a mistake to choose this career but yet again i didnt chooese this career it chose me i was chosen by it. I dont like the idea of competing and waiting in a que wich its a a diplomt statement becouse its part of my calling to stand in a que and be a nervous wreck.

I went to an audition it was filled with few south african well known artist respected in their calibre that on its own freaked me out. i asked my self what am i doing here i cant compete with  these guys they like my heroes in art,yet again they are human beings doing their job description which is auditioning...actually mine too!

I cant face rejection.

I love theatre but hate auditions im hoping one day i will get a call that says "philisiwe sithole im calling to ask if you would like to be part of the show, film,concert we are doing." well i have to create that  in the experience iam getting from the show i will be doing te gig i wll be perfoming in but it starts with an audition its hard to hear NO, but its part of me part of my calling.....
