Chookas Youth
"It was so great to see auditions from the other side of the table. I am so grateful to have been able to sit down and see what people look like while auditioning and not have to worry about my audition. I was able to get into the mind of someone who would be casting a show, and understand what parts of a performer make them an amazing performer. I got to see how a person can be incredibly talented and yet not quite fit in the show. I got to learn more about what a panel would be looking for and what I need to give" - Leelani.
