I’m in my third year of studying theatre and have never wanted to quit so bad
I (F20) have been in college studying theatre and acting for three years now. Every semester I have auditioned and every semester I never make it into a show. I have gotten call backs the last three times and still have yet to get a role and I’m exhausted. Biggest of all my school requires all performance majors to have been in 4 shows to graduate, I’ve been in none and graduate next spring. I’ve spoken with my advisor who spoke with the dean of my college and he said we could make it work but once again I simply don’t get casted. I’m now at a point in which I think I simply suck. I feel as though I’ve hit a wall and now just wanna quiet. This has been my dream since I was a kid yet I’m getting nowhere. It making me think I won’t make it in the real industry. Yet I often get praise in class on my use of voice. I feel like a fool. I should note there is one major issue I have in auditions that I don’t have in callbacks or when performing, that is a shake like a leaf. It’s horrible and downright debilitating and I have no clue how to combat it. So if anyone has advice or is in a similar boat I’d love to hear about it.
