Auditions for Hongkong Disneyland Performers on July 16 and 17

I received this note in my email twice, so now I feel compelled to blog about it. Hahaha!

Around 5 years ago, I would have auditioned, if just for the heck of it. I did for Miss Saigon Korea, and actually got a callback. :p I sang "Why, God, Why?" I did well enough, I guess, but couldn't impress the panel for the dance auditions. Hehehe...

Now, the first time I auditioned for a play outside of UP and of the UPCC was for Repertory Philippines' "The Secret Garden." I sang "Lily's Eyes," a duet. For that, I also got a callback and a semi-compliment from the late Bibot Amador (on my way out of the theater she asked me if I was going to the "callback", and I said yes). Too bad I did poorly at the callbacks, forgot the words both times I sang it. :p Haha!

Even if I never fulfilled my dream to be a professional thespian (see Profile: "...frustrated thespian") I had tremendous fun auditioning for these plays, and now remember fondly how nervous and excited I was during the auditions and how great it was to get a thumbs up afterwards. At the end of the day though, I knew that it wasn't for me, I am happier being a nerd than a rockstar. :p So as it turned out, not being hired was perfect for me! Hehe!

But for the rest of you out there who "dream the dream", get your dancing shoes and vocal chops ready! Mickey wants you in his Kingdom!

  7. Ah, baka pwede ako ang magaudition. hehehe. Pwede ang talent ang singing badminton player? LOL just kidding! All the singing I do is with the company of friends in front of a videoke machine. On occasions, in front of a live audience with lots of alcohol and bets from friends. hehehe

  19. @JenaIsle lol. I like the Carpenters more than Abba, but I do know a lot of their songs too! :D

    When I was young (I'd listen to the radio.. :p) everytime I listen to Superstar, nalulungkot ako. Isn't it such a heartbreaking song?

  20. @Zorlone i actually live only about half an hour away from Trinoma. :p Videoke na! Sino sasama?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes it is Rey. I like the melody and the poignant feelings it evokes. But "Top of the World" revives the merry "me". For ABBA I like the fast tunes, Dancing Queen, Chiquitita...What are your favorite artists now? :) I like Westlife and the Shontelle.
