Thanks for all the support and positivity in this thread. It's so wonderful to know that I've got this support here as well as at home and amongst my "real world" buddies.
My immediate family (other than Hubby) are a bit unsure about the whole thing. In fact, I get the feeling that my brother thinks I am being downright irresponsible and foolish. I keep reminding myself that he was the most talented out of the three of us and he's the one not doing anything with his talent, so maybe it's some kind of deep-rooted jealousy or regret that is fueling his disdain for my decisions.
I think my mother and sister and my in-laws think this is a passing phase and that I'll "get over it and go back to normal" once I've had a few knockbacks. My dad doesn't care. He loves me no matter what I do. Dad and I get along much better now than we ever did growing up. I really feel like he's an ally.
I've gotten some great peer feedback on my latest audition. The official feedback won't arrive for at least a few more days. I've been told I solved one of the problems really well (which was to do with framing the shot - a lot of this script involves the feet) and that I've outdone myself! I think it's probably still too theatrical and maybe a little too much like a spoof. It's a very thin line. Hoping to get the official feedback soon.
