Ryan Faces the World

I’ve done a lot of stuff in the past few weeks.  I went to 3 EPAs, one AC night, 3 coachings with Cliff and I was called into an audtion and got a callback.  I’ve also been sending my stuff out to listings in Backstage via email and snail mail.  And I’ve researched various showcases […]

Ryan Hecht’s Acting Career 2.0 has officially begun.  I went to my first EPA with my new headshots today.  Aaannnddd…it went ok.  For some reason that audition center makes me nervous.  I get much more nervous than any other place I audition.  Well, I’m going to conquer that.  The monologue actually didn’t go so badly.  […]

Well, that sucked.  3 game sweep.  I ended up going to both games at Shea which, considering the Dodgers lost both of them, turned out to be a rather horrific experience.  The ride home on the 7 train, packed with Mets fans, was not much either.  I’m hoping the Mets lose to the Cards.  Right […]

Well, I didn’t get the part. I received an email from Marsha, the Artistic Director, about a half hour ago. She said she really liked my audition but decided to go in a different direction. I am feeling a mixture of dissapointment and relief. Dissapointment because I really, really wanted to do that show. It […]

So I emailed Tara, the company manager at the Race. Its been over two weeks since the audition for Moonlight and I’d really like to know where I stand. I just asked her if Moonlight has been cast. I should hear from her today. In all probability it will be one […]

Here I am again, waiting for the Human Race to call.  It’s been two weeks since I auditioned for Moonlight and Magnolias.  It went really well.  Marsha said I set the bar very high for the rest of the auditioners and that I did a marvelous job.  Now, will that transfer into an acting job?  […]

I found out today I got cast in the Human Race Theatre’s production of “Alone Together”.  As Vin Scully would say, I was shocked to my toes.  The audition was exactly three weeks ago.  I pretty much give up hope after a week and a half.  Then I sink into a severe depression for a […]

Spring training starts at Dodgertown today. Ahhhh. Every year I do my predictions and this year is no different. This year I predict the Dodgers will win the World Series. You heard it here first. Check back to this post in October. You’ll see. I’m right.
I really don’t […]

Looks like my schedule at work will be changing in the next few weeks.  I have been working M-F, 9-4 and it will be going to a 3 day schedule either Tu-Thu or Wed-Fri, 11-11.  I have mixed feelings.  I much prefer only working 3 days and having 4 days off.  But that knocks out […]

The audition went very well. Marsha, the Artistic Director, was there. She gave me a big hug and seemed genuinely happy to see me. The director was nice as well. I felt I performed well and now I just have to wait and see. Its completely out of my hands. […]
