A few years ago, whilst en route to London, I had to explain to members of my family why I didn'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's radio silence. No explanation. No thanks but not this time. Nothing.
How it can then make you feel like a lunatic. How you're petrified to email your agent incase they think you'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's stop finding out via social media or when a friend messages to ask can you help with an accent
