A few years ago, whilst en route to London, I had to explain to members of my family why I didn& #39;t tell them about auditions. I asked how many job interviews they had done in their life? How much they prepared? And how much it meant to them?

I explained that it can be humiliating when people then constantly ask "have you heard back from that audition?" - when the majority of the time, it& #39;s radio silence. No explanation. No thanks but not this time. Nothing.

How it can then make you feel like a lunatic. How you& #39;re petrified to email your agent incase they think you& #39;re being too needy - it really is this simple. If I can book a flight at the last minute. Or do a 12 hour rail and sail journey to make a 10am meeting.

Or learn an 8 page Shakespeare scene whilst pulling pints - then you can can do us the courtesy of a YES or a NO. Let& #39;s stop finding out via social media or when a friend messages to ask can you help with an accent https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">
