If you are a working actor, you know that the months of January-March are insanely busy for you. You bounce from audition to audition trying to find some sort of work for either the summer or the year. It gets to be a little overwhelming at times, but luckily we have a TV series to rely on that helps us feel less alone.

It all begins with applying for thousands of auditions and scheduling appointments while feeling all the confidence in the world.

You walk into each audition and see everyone else in the waiting room. You think they all have their lives together, but you slowly realize that's not the case.

You see that one person, and you instantly call your friend to freak out about it.

You walk out of your audition feeling like you nailed it.

Or like you didn't.

You might fall in love with a theatre company or show, and you hope with all of your heart they call you.

But sometimes, they don't, and you give yourself a brief pity party.

You have friends and family to support you and get you back on your feet.

Then, you realize that you are so talented and beautiful, and any company would be lucky to have you.

Suddenly, a company calls you offering you a job...

And you do your little Brooke Davis happy dance.

Because in the end, getting an opportunity to do what you love makes it all worth it.

It's a long, exhausting journey, but you've got this. My advice: don't forget these wise words from Mouth this audition season. Break a leg, fellow art lovers.
