- great point- I've been doing it for years but I use fruit, which I always tell myself will be my reward if I hit all the notes I intend to hit in the call- no I'm not a singer, but what I mean is that I always go into the audition with a story to tell, and strive to tell that tale within the context of the meeting. The fruit in my pants is an additional idiosyncrasy that I use to keep myself focused... and it does work! I had a director who told me once "You cannot put fruit in your pants!" and I tried it without but realized that the method gave me what I needed, so I do it now.
