Licklog Auditions a success

The Licklog Players held a free Audition Workshop at the Peacock Playhouse to help anyone who might have an interest in trying out for plays. Edie Kleinpeter, actress/director and David Spivey, popular regional actor discussed tips for getting a part in a play at an audition. They pointed out that everyone is nervous, but the fun of participating in the theater is worth it. Those who attended learned about how to prepare for cold reading auditions and for auditions at which an actor has to bring a prepared piece. They learned how important it is to get a copy of the play prior to the audition so that a cold reading wouldn’t be so “cold.” They explained the terminology that will make them seem more knowledgeable to a director at a try-out. They discussed how much they have enjoyed the theater and the theater family and friendships made over time.
One piece of good news for one of the attendees was the acceptance for future commercials from the Babes and Beaus Modeling Agency in Marietta. Leah Poole of Blairsville had a real audition after attending the workshop. Edie Kleinpeter offered to help her prepare her piece before going down to Marietta. She was accepted much to the joy of Kleinpeter. Leah is a 9th grader at Union County High School and a member of the Color Guard in the UCHS Band. This young lady has a bright future ahead and hopefully will take part in Licklog productions and the Licklog’s Peacock Pride for students.
