Congratulations! You’ve survived the chaos known as the sign-in! But what comes next in the Cattle Call litmus test? Simply take a good look around. No, not at those girls trying to flirt with the audition monitor. The room! Look at the room!
What kind of room are you in?
At a typical Cattle Call they will call this the “holding room.” This room is often right next to or across from what they call the “audition room.” The holding room must always be the smallest room in the entire building. It must also always be above 90 degrees farenheit and preferably have few or no windows. If it does have windows, you will be commanded not to open them, LEST YOU ESCAPE. Don’t worry, there is a mirror. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to see the mirror. The 65 blondes who all arrived at 6am and are now reapplying their blush for the fifteenth time this morning will occupy 80% of the mirror space, while a few years worth of handprints will obscure your reflection on the other 80%. Don’t worry. Your hair looks fine.
If this is a real audition, you are probably in the studio in which you’ll actually dance later. There are probably people stretching all over the floor and looking nervous. That one girl with the too-tight leotard is standing about a foot from the mirror on the left side of the studio and examining her butt from every angle, but other than that the mirror is all yours if you want it. You’d better use this time to warm up, though because you’re actually probably going to get to dance in a few minutes.

Aw, are you going to leave us hanging like that?
I want to hear about how the audition and if the girl who examines her butt from angle gets a decent shot at getting a part!
