Skylar knelt on the floor, crying her lungs out with her head on the dummy as she choked. “Mom! Why did you have to leave me? What’s going to happen to me now? What about Dad? Please just open your eyes and look at me!”
Truth be told, Skylar actually had a reserved personality. But when she’s in front of a camera, it was like she had an alter ego. She would become clumsy when moving around, so Skylar had to force herself into acting mode.
She was crying a river at this point and her voice was getting hoarse. Her eyes showed nothing but hopelessness.
With a performance that fully expressed the desperation and helplessness of the character, people that did not know her would be shocked if they found out she was an amateur.
“And, cut!” The director gave the signal to stop. However, Skylar was still crying as she had gone too deep into the character and she was still trying to calm herself. After about half a minute, Skylar finally stood up, and that marked the end of her audition.
After that, she felt relaxed. She really wanted to succeed, but instant fame was not the way to go. It required luck, albeit it being quite common in the industry, Skylar knew that her luck had never been good.
“Not bad,” the director commented before Skylar bowed and got off the stage. The only thing left for her to do after that was waiting.
It was like attending an examination, the results would only be announced after a few days.
Kate went down to talk to Skylar. Seeing that Skylar still had tears in her eyes, she took out a handkerchief and handed it to her. Kate was quite satisfied with Skylar’s performance so she did not hold back on her praise. “That wasn’t bad at all. I knew you’ve got talent in doing this. Your performance just now was really eye catching. I’d say it was just as good as any of the professionals.”
Meanwhile, Amelia stood beside them, listening to Kate praising Skylar. Her displeasure was written all over her face as she just lost half of Kate’s attention towards her.
Skylar smiled. “You’re being too modest with your compliments, Kate. When will they announce the result?”
“Within the week. Are you nervous?”
