Mostly A’s. Chatty Cathy

You have a way with words and a distaste for silence! Your book is chock full of poppy MT show stoppers and you’re not afraid to let everybody know it! You know you’re working your intimidation magic when other people in the room put their headphones in. Enjoy your moment in the sun, but be sure to save some of that energy for the audition room!

Mostly B’s. Subtle Sabotage

You have an inner peace that is honestly terrifying. Keep up the good work--with your almost spooky level of focus, we know you won’t be in holding rooms much longer. Appointment only here you come!

Mostly C’s. The “Over It” Guy

The scary thing about you is that despite your best efforts, we all know you’re gonna book. Lucky for you, your total lack of work ethic turns into breezy coolness the moment you step into a holding room. Keep doing what you’re doing, I guess?

Mostly D’s. Monitor Thirst Trap

You know that the monitor doesn’t have any control over casting, right? Well, not everyone does, so at least you’re scaring them. If anything, Glen the Monitor thrives on the attention, so you’ve made someone’s day a little brighter!
