I did mention I was going for this second call audition for a musical.
Well it went well overall, knowing that I was quite happy with my performance.
The audition took place at Istana Budaya's rehearsal studio on the 4th floor. It was to start at 8.30pm and I arrived 5 minutes late. Not good. I bump into Roslan Aziz at the foyer but did not tegur him or anything. Not good. As I entered the studio, I was nearly faint when I saw those faces who will battle the next hour or two with me. I couldn't believe it, but these people were there.
The boys from the defunct Shades were there!
The top 3 winners of Audition 2 were there!
The finalists of Malaysian Idol 1 & 2 were there!
Even Bob from AF1 was there!
A few notable ASK and IB dancers were there!
And other unknown faces!
So what was the outcome?
I told myself at that point I was quite lucky for making it to the selection round. Roslan mentioned from the hopefulls 200, only the 35 of us were the favorites. But that night, only the best will be chosen.
First the singing audition. I sang my old time favorite To Where You Are by Josh Groban. Roslan tegur, "Good singing, but I want a Malay song. Boleh ke?". And I stupidly sang Belaian Jiwa!
Next was the dance audition. I was pretty confident with these. Not to forget the choreographer congratulate me personally on the victorious UK cheerleading performance! I was in awe. At least I know he reads The Star now. He (Pat Ibrahim) gave us a simple intro, and followed by an impromptu dance which I really liked. I hoped that would differenciate my skills with the others.
Finally the hardest part, the acting audition. Prior to this, I have had no proper acting classes except for those I have learnt from my Literature days at Taylor's! We were asked to perform a 1 minute solo acting of which I thought I did okay. My new found friend from the audition even complemented my performance.
My final say, although I know I won't lend the few big roles (which I don't really bother), I just hope Tiara and her esteemed co-workers will give me a part as a dancer and backup singer.
If nobody call me by next week , then I will call them. Desperate? Yes.
