The Nicest Rejection Ever


This is an email I received regarding the audition I had last week, where I learned a new way to approach my monologue:

Hi Erin,

Thank you so much for making it up to Columbia to audition for us last Saturday! Unfortunately, we can't offer you anything right now in "Phoebe." We really enjoyed your performance [in your monologue]- you have a very easy style of acting. Best of luck with everything, and again, thank you so much. 

With Warm Regards,
[the director/producer]

I love it when producers take the time to say something nice to the people who took the time to show up to their auditions. Kudos to you!

    It makes a huge difference, doesn't it?

    It really does. I know it is hard for them to do, much like it is hard for us to hear. But with the advent of digital technology, it is easier than ever to have those difficult, one-way conversations.
