Nervousness

So, I am auditioning people this Sunday.

I can't stop thinking about it. It's nerve-wracking. It's strange to have people asking me to work on this instead of the other way around.

The thing that gets me is that I have no idea what I am doing. I really don't, but people expect me
to. I know what acting I like and what I don't, but I cannot articulate what that is. I know what I have pictured, but I don't know how to explain it or how it looks. Yet, it is expected of me not only to tell people what I want, I have to get it out of them, and I don't know how.

To keep things organized, I've created registration forms for people to fill out when they come here so that I can keep them all straight. I'm really bad at names and faces, so this really is a necessity. I strongly recommend it to all of you.

My form asked for the person's name, age, sex, contact info, what parts they were interested in, which ones they were not interested in, when they were available for shooting, whether they were interested in crew work, and what skills they had. I also put in a place for me to make notes and a space to assign them a number. I plan on writing in the number as I take people's pictures so that I can put a name to each face. I am really that bad at remembering names and faces.

I'll let you know how it goes down.
