You know you’ve felt all of these at some point in your time as an actor. #Feelings
Motivation
Just saw Hamilton on Broadway. Gonna kill it at my next audition just like Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Excitement
An audition posting! Time to find the perfect outfit and rehearse my audition song.
Anxiety
OMG, which headshot should I choose from my headshot session? WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT.
Frustration
Memorizing this audition monologue is literally killing me.
Elation
I got cast? I got cast! AND I AM THE LEAD. YAS.
Grateful
My friends got cast, too! Yussssss.
Disbelief
WHAT! You’re kidding me. How am I going to memorize this many lines?
Resignation
Rehearsals rule my life, and therefore I have no life.
Contentment
I’ve finally memorized all my lines. Time to binge watch Stranger Things on Netflix.
Exhaustion

Confidence
Opening night! Makeup flawless; wig pinned; shoes snug; costume on point. IT’S GO TIME.
Panic
WHAT IS MY LINE.
Relief
Remembered my line. Didn’t run offstage crying.
Pride
Standing O! #FIERCE
Love
What would I do without this show and these people and this feeling? #AllTheFeels
