Some people, at the start of a new year, make a resolution &#8212; a promise to yourself to be better. I thought about my resolution carefully. I want to be an actor on the stage! Today I will audition for a show called &#8220;The Woods Are Alive!&#8221; Wish me luck!<br>Director: Next! What is your name?<br>Anna: My name is Anna Matteo.<br>Director: Are you ready to audition?<br>Anna: (warms up voice) Yes.<br>Director: Great. Let&#8217;s begin on page 1. Here is the story. You are lost in the woods. You are searching desperately for a way out. Suddenly, you hear something.<br>Director: Now, say your line.<br>Anna: &#8216;What was that? Hello. Is someone there?&#8217;<br>Director: Anna, you are speaking too softly. Can you speak more loudly and a little more, um, seriously?<br>Anna: Yes, of course I can. &#8216;What was that? Hello. Is someone there?&#8217; Is that loud enough?<br>Director: Yes, that is loud enough. Let&#8217;s turn to page 25. In this scene, you are moving slowly and quietly through the woods.<br>Director: Anna. Anna! You are walking quickly and loudly. Walk slowly and quietly.<br>Anna: I&#8217;m walking slowly and quietly. I am walking\u2026<br>Director: Anna. Anna. You don&#8217;t need to say &#8220;slowly&#8221; and &#8220;quietly.&#8221; Alright, let&#8217;s try the last scene. Turn to page 48. I say my line first, then you say your line.<br>Director: &#8216;You will never get out of these woods alive! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!&#8217;<br>Anna: &#8216;Yes, I will.&#8217;<br>Director: Okay, Anna, you said that line &#8212; you said that line really late. You need to say it earlier.<br>Anna: Sorry. Sorry. Let me try again.<br>Director: &#8216;You will never \u2026&#8217;<br>Anna: &#8216;Yes, I will.&#8217;<br>Director: &#8216;\u2026 get out of the woods alive.&#8217;<br>Anna: I was too early, wasn&#8217;t I?<br>Director: Yes. Yes, you were.<br>Anna: Director, how am I doing?<br>Director: You know, Anna. I think that I have the perfect part for you.<br>Director: The costume is in the back. Please go try it on.<br>Anna: Awesome! (Anna returns as a tree.)<br>Director: Oh, Anna, that fits you perfectly!<br>Anna: I&#8217;m a tree. I&#8217;m a tree in \u2026 &#8220;The Woods Are Alive!&#8221; Yes!<br>Anna: My new year is starting awesomely! Excuse me, Director! I have a great idea for my tree. Oh, wait!
