when certain people audition for certain plays and they are not cast they still expect to receive a courtesy call from the director. manners go a long way, especially for super sensitive and shaky performers

When we're onstage in the finished performance, we "expose our heart and soul to a roomful of perfect strangers". If we're able to leave that behind, why should auditions be any different?

My feeling is, if you can't do an audition and then forget it, you shouldn't be a performer. Move on. As this site demonstrates, there's enough activity to keep a keen auditionee busy.

Instead of looking on an audition as a life or death "I have to get this part" situation, just use it as a chance to run through your audition piece(s) again. The less wieght you attach, the more relaxed you'll be, and -- as a direct, if ironic, result -- the better audition you'll give.

Still perpetuating under the guise of bemoaning, I see, Leah.
