 Happy New Year. Some people, at the start of a new year, make a resolution, a promise to yourself to be better. I thought about my resolution carefully. I want to be an actor on the stage. Today, I will audition for a show called The Woods Are Alive. Wish me luck. What is your name? My name is Anna Litao. Are you ready to audition? Here is the story. Us in the woods. You are searching desperately for a way out. Suddenly, you hear something. Now say your line. What was that? You are speaking too softly. That is loud enough. You are speaking too softly. OK, let's turn to page 25. In this scene, you are moving slowly and quietly through the woods. Fucking quickly and loudly. Walk slowly and walking slowly. I am walking on a slope. You don't need to say slowly and quietly. All right. Let's try the last scene. Turn to page 48. I say my line first, then you say your line. Never. Get out of these woods. You said that line really late. You need to say it earlier. Sorry. Sorry. Let me try again. Flee, wasn't I? Yes. Yes, you were. Walk slowly and quietly. Director, how am I doing? I have the perfect part for you. The costume is in the back. Please go try it on. Awesome. That fits you perfectly. I'm a tree. I'm a tree. In the woods are alive. My new year is starting awesomely. Excuse me, director. I have a great idea for my tree. Oh, wait. Until next time.
