PARENT OF CANDIDATE FREDDIE RAWLINGS

I wasn’t surprised, really. I mean, you can’t come to these things and not have a bit of fire in your belly. I’m always saying to Freddie that if he doesn’t big himself up, no one else will.

I’m not being funny, but you could tell that she wasn’t used to being at auditions at this level, among students of this calibre. And that’s just sad.

Truly, I felt sorry for her. Totally out of her depth.

This isn’t being recorded, is it?

I’d hate the parents to think I was being a bitch.
