Audition Quote by Dylan Llewellyn
“There'd be times in audition rooms where I'd be handed a fresh script and be asked to read another scene, or try for another part, with no prep time. I'd try to pull it off, but I'd be panicking: it took everything for me to try to even read the script correctly, never doing well.”
