A Turning Point


Recently I have been applying for drama schools and preparing myself for auditions, letting myself get stressed out about choosing my pieces in time.  Then one day I was on my way to town and sitting on the bus listening to music and I realised, I am going for it. That ‘dream’ I have had for years and the yearning to be on stage I am attempting to make a reality. For years I have wanted one thing. To do what I love and I am going for it. Go me! It’s scary, I am crapping myself at the idea of auditioning for the schools but I’m doing it.

  I am excited at the prospect of performing to the panels in the auditions, they decide my future. I could get in to one of the schools which would be insane, I am just so excited. This process may be crazy, scary and overwhelming but I will make the most out of it and push myself.  I may get stressed, I may get a bit teary but no matter what happens, I will try my absolute hardest to make it happen. My family and friends think I can do it and finally, I think I can too!

  I like keeping myself busy and I am currently writing a monologue about how women are objectified in society. I was struggling with ideas and then Lily Allen came onto the scene with her new song ‘Hard out Here’. It is amazing; she just says everything that needs to be said. Women are constantly made to look like sexual objects within the media and she just takes the mick out of the new videos out at the moment.  One of my favourite lines is “You should probably lose some weight
'Cause we can't see your bones”. Magazines plaster photos of skinny women who have the ‘perfect body’ and you know what? It’s a load of shit. So what if a woman isn’t a size six? We don’t need to be as long as I am happy with myself I don’t care what anyone else thinks.

 I am so inspired to start my monologue and speak some truth and start my auditions, I feel like my life is starting and you know what? I am so excited to see what it has in store! Please comment below telling me all about your goals or just something you’re excited about! Love Phoebe Eve <3
