00:11

00:16

things Second thing and the real biggie is to be

00:18

a gigantic star on broadway so yeah a broadway career

00:23

in a ton of cash Usually those two things don't

00:25

go hand in hand but carrie is willing to make

00:27

that sacrifice to have her name in lights and she's

00:30

totally got the chops for it She's a great actress

00:32

she's a great singer and she can dance her buns

00:35

off Only thing is she's got crippling anxiety hates auditioning

00:40

despises it like every time she walks into an audition

00:43

room It's a toss up between breaking out new cold

00:45

sweat or having a puke into the nearest available trash

00:48

can and sometimes both But she wants to be a

00:51

broadway baby badly so she moves to new york after

00:54

high school and decides to give it a shot anyway

00:56

Week after week it's the same old story anxiety cold

00:59

sweats you cola dressed out of her mind deeply depressed

01:03

and about twenty pounds lighter You would be too if

01:05

you spent that much time losing your lunch Carrie finally

01:08

crawls back home to ohio with her tail between her

01:11

legs figuratively speaking of course the off off broadway production

01:15

of cats she was in i didn't let her keep

01:17

the costume she cries for her parents telling them she's

01:19

hanging it up as much as she wants to be

01:22

the next adele nosy bra adina menzel it isn't worth

01:26

it besides she's never going to get a part anyway

01:29

if she can't control her you know bodily functions for

01:32

parents tell her they'll love her no matter what but

01:34

that she'd better get her butt back to new york

01:36

and chase her dream They tell her that nothing worth

01:38

having ever comes easy and it's fun on ly once

01:41

you've gone through and conquered the really tough stuff that

01:44

the journey seems worthwhile So carrie nausea medication in hand

01:49

goes back to new york to give it one more

01:51

go She continues to have difficulty controlling her nerves but

01:55

the more auditions she goes to she starts to realize

01:58

something it's all becoming common place She becomes less stressed

02:02

at auditions because well hack there was one yesterday and

02:05

there will be another one tomorrow and suddenly she gets

02:08

a part it's just a small part in a really

02:10

awful play about some woman going through the five stages

02:13

of grief But michael c hall is in it playing

02:16

the part of bargaining so that's cool and it gives

02:18

her just the tiniest bit of confidence The next time

02:21

she steps into an audition she's got a success under

02:24

her belt and she doesn't worry quite so much what

02:27

they're going to think of her You know she's got

02:28

mad skills if they don't recognize it well hey then

02:31

it's on them well as her confidence builds so it

02:34

is her resume I'm after time Carrie Find yourself booking

02:37

roles better ones in better place And while she doesn't

02:40
