By the time I got to the audition, all the good sides had been taken. The only one left was clearly written for a sassy black woman, with plenty of "Honey"s and "oh no you don't"s.
And for a second, I actually hesitated.
I was like, I'm going to look like an asshole if I go in there and do this like a sassy black woman. It would be different if these people knew me, or had ever met me before. But out of context they're going to think I'm a racist.
And then I said "Fuck that, I'll never see these people again in my life," and went in there and did my best sassy black lady.
And I got a callback tomorrow morning!
The director even said, "Perfect, that's exactly how that's supposed to be performed."
I even capped it off with a finger snap at the end.
Balls out.
