“Everyone HATES having to do the understudy put-in runs. No one has any energy or wants to be there.”

“Who can say if I have rolled for the better~~~ TWO FAILURES”
Trying to record a TTRPG podcast immediately after seeing the Wicked sequel… to disastrous results. I’m singing the results of all my rolls.

FB really loves showing me the “people I might know” when it doesn’t even show me the posts of the people I’m already friends with.

The day after this my agent informed me that they might be doing it as a non-union commercial and that they client thought I could just choose to do non-union stuff???? Anyways, I’ve been waiting in limbo for four days so far waiting to see if they’ll go union.
Booked another commercial voiceover. This is three for three this year. Really kicking myself for not upgrading my home microphone sooner.

Had a half-way decent audition out-of-town today (involving some puppeteering!!!!) and stopped for an espresso after. Was shocked that they had a little vegan lemon Bundt cake that was actually maybe the best coffee shop treat I’ve ever had.

First full day of rehearsal with the kiddos. One of the youngest came to use my table to make a note in her script:
“Can I use this pencil?”
“Of course!”
“… how do you spell ‘stairs’?”
😭😭😭 The sweetest.

Found out my city has a Plato’s Closet. Bought six decent sweaters but had to go through the mental humiliation ritual of being in a store advertised as for “teens and young adults”.

Finally got the casting breakdown three days before rehearsal. Now that I fiiiiinally know the actual three actor tracks I’m covering and have split them into three separate copies of the script… this feels less daunting.

Okay. 100 pages in and I’m hit with some Brood Mother-esque shit. I’m sorry, Dungeon Crawler Carl, I was not familiar with your game (no pun intended).
Switching from Infinite Jest to Dungeon Crawler Carl (because the hold I placed almost four months ago came in) is giving me intellectual whiplash.
