His audition is for this Tuesday
It's an open audition for Young Frankenstein with a local amateur dramatics group and all parts are up for being selected.
With him being male I thought Frederick Frankenstein, Igor and the Monster might be the best roles to go for but, it's 2024 and so he can play a tradition female role if that's what everyone on the day decides for.
So your best tips on posturing, learning and annunciating lines, making his marks, timings and all the other pro-tips that he'll need to show them he's the best person for the job.
I'm thinking if we get him going in like this:
Then, to them at the very least, he'll end up looking like this:
So best tips gang, let's make our Bobby feel welcomed here and raring to go and walk the boards of that local town hall for the play
Thanks!

Oh! No Anna! Don't!!!
We don't wish luck to people within the theatre, it's back luck to do that.
We say "Break a leg" and that means the same as good luck but it doesn't jinx it - I don't know why?!?
Thanks for the support, I'm sure we can get Bobby through this

Technically Bobby if from the North of England Elle but being from oop North is somewhat similar to being Southern Scottish. We've got the Lake District between us and that's sort of like a baby version of the mountains proper like in Wales and Scotland

Well this is very touching indeed.
My nervousness and anxiety are still sky high of course but this has eased things slightly and given me a smidgen more confidence.

Honestly I would just be happy to land a place in the ensemble. You still get the glitz and glamour of the stage and sometimes they give members of the ensemble a line to say and that would be nice.

Thank you Juan, it is me as a handsome Prince.
I’m afraid though Juan that my confidence has taken further knocks.
I went out to she shops today and when I returned I noticed that a bunch of my awful neighbours were stood about talking (they’re always outside their houses chatting in groups). Anyway as usual they looked my way at me approaching the house, started whispering to themselves and laughing. I tried to ignore them as usual but couldn’t this time as I really did not need it, so before I went in the front door I turned back to them and shouted ‘well you might all laugh at me but it is ME going to these auditions tomorrow and I’m going to get a PLUM ROLE!!’ which made them laugh much harder as I went inside. About five minutes later I looked out of my bedroom window and noticed them all still there chatting away. My temper got the better of me so I opened the window with the intention of shouting ‘sedagive’ at them, but you know how much I struggle with that one so I instead shouted down ‘SEDATIVE’ at them. They looked up and I’m immediately laughed at and cajoled and do you know what I did? I shut the window, dived on my bed, head under pillow and cried loud and long.
