After school,
When i got home, i told Stanley about the new fish.
He was jealous because i saw it written on his face.
One sunday, i decided not to go anywhere but to stay at home.
” am so pissed off about this stage work am into.
I just want to shot a real movie so that other people will know me.” I decided not to wait for my direcor to call me for movie work. I decided to be going to Auditions and know if any movie producer can hook me up so that i’ll register as AGN{Actors Guild of Nigeria} member.
One of my friend from our academy
called me one saturday,
he told me, they was a place an audition is been held.
He asked me if am interested in the audition.
I replied him yes.
He said the audition is by 10am that same day, and the venue is LAST DISCUSSION at unizik junction Awka. For those of you that’ve been to Awka will know where am talking about.
After the call, i told my mum and she approved it and told me to be careful.
Time check was 8:45am.
I helped my junior brother to tidy the house.
Thereafter, we took our breakfast and i dressed up.
I left our house, when i got to the LAST DISCUSSION,
i stood at the gate and dialled my friend’s number ** his name is Ekene but popularly known as Freedom fighter **
he picked up and told me to wait for him at the gate that he’s almost there.
After some minutes, he arrived and we entered inside the hotel.
As we entered, there are some other peoples that are already waiting.
We exchanged pleasantries and we stood aside.
Some minutes later, there was a guy that came out and took us inside.
We all sat at the chair that was arranged in the hall.
I saw the audition co-ordinators as they were seated on a sofa.
They gave us some pieces of paper to write our name and phone numbers.
When we are all through with it, they started calling out some people with the Paper we wrote our names. We were given a script to go out and rehearse with our partner,
I was given a role of a native doctor.
** omo na so dey com turn igwe to native doctor. **
We went outside and rehearsed it. We stood aside waiting for our turn.
For someone who had determined to be an actor,
must act any role given to him.
I want to use this opportunity to tell some people who have been criticising actor/actress for acting e----c movie or other movies that you feel that he/she doesn’t suppose to act.
Though, some super stars reject some roles but for an upcomer,
you must act any role given to you,
that is if you want to succeed in becoming a super star.
They was a movie titled: DIRTY SECRET,
late Muna Obiekwe acted the role of bi-sexual man.
Where he had s-x with Tonto Dike and her father and even Tonto Dike’s step-mother.
This Ghollywood actor Frank Arthurs was the one that was called for that role,
Muna Obiekwe acted but he rejected the role.
I tried when we performed because am not good in incantation.
After we all have performed, the director addressed us.
He encouraged us to be more determined in our career and he also gave us some key points in acting.
Thereafter, he said that they’ll get back to us since they’ve our phone numbers.
” you all should remember that our production fee is N5000 incase we give you a call.” he also added.
Freedom fighter and i went out of the hotel and time check is 4:50pm.
I told him that i’ll be going since his house is close to Awka.
I went home, when i got to the house,
my senior brother have already finished cooking.
I took my bath and laid on the bed.
My brother asked me how was the audition,
i told him how we were auditioned.
As we are still talking, an unknown number called me.
