The Hell that's Auditioning

One of the reasons I stopped acting was I'm aweful at auditioning (good on stage, but terrible while being judged by a table of yahoos). Seriously, my last audition was horrible. I came out of my body, looked down upon myself, and thought, "What the hell are you doing?" That was the end for me.

Auditioning is like pulling a tooth without general anesthesia. Many actors hate the process. Even worse is auditioning during pilot season (the time of year networks greenlight shows and the casting process begins). Check out THIS detailed account of how it all goes down. Amazing to think an actor ever makes it on television (hence why many flounder for years in Hollywood before the magic begins).
