Response to Austin's blog

It's been 3 years that I've known Austin Westergom. I met this crazy kid in "Seussical" and again in "Cinderella Wore Combat Boots" and again in "High School Musical." Two of those times I was against him for a role. I can honestly say that he has the potential to be a great performer one day if he sticks to theater. Don't let that get to your head though, man. You have to work for this and I can see that you are willing to, and never lose that ambition. You've got a lot of charisma, sometimes more than me (WOW). Now build that confidence and you'll be kickin' butt in those auditions and shows. Unfortunately, Austin and I suffer from the same drawback: singing. From what I know he is as shaky with his voice as I am and that is a very hard thing for actors like us to endure, especially when it means the difference between principals and chorus. But Austin and I also share another trait. We have been given the gift of comedic timing. We know how to turn a line into a side-splitter. I personally appreciate this gift more than that of a nice set of "vocal chords." You should too, Austin. Because laughter is what makes the world go round! To make someone laugh is to put a picture in their head and make them believe that something YOU think is funny is hilarious to them. So Austin, in the words of Donald O'Connor "Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh!"
