deep questions

So question - is it better to audition for anything and everything that pops up - or carefully plot and plan and focus on the auditions you'd be good for.  I.E. should I go to the FAME audition (in some tiny NJ theatre) that wants pop/rock singers - or should I go to class and practice my voice so that I can be super fierce and get Phantom or Mermaid or any Rogers and Hammerstein that come my way?  I think it is the latter - mainly because auditions take A LOT out of you - the whole waking up at 6 a.m. and waiting around etc... and I feel like I cant' give 100% to any of the auditions because I'm exhausted, unfocused, and unprepared.  I mean - you can never be prepared - I was prepared for Mermaid and had my friend teach me the dance audition - then they turns around and taught a DIFFERENT dance combination - and asked for a DIFFERENT song - but you know what I mean - the readiness is all.  Additionally - the casting directors see you, and when they see you enough, remember you, and you want them to remember you as being super fierce - not pretending to be a pop/rock tap dancer.

So yeah ---

Today was a pretty typical thursday - except - whilst buffing the floors - I realized how much Mary changed my singing for the better by the way I was using my breath - it was - haha - a whole new world!  HOOOOORAY!)
