Default How to react when the casting director...

I finally got my confirmation e-mail yay!
I hope this pertains to Acting Technique.

How would you, or how is the best way to react when you're auditioning and in the middle of your monologue the casting director says:

-Thank you very much!

Has that or something similar happened to you?

Thanks!

LOL yeah but, I guess my english wasn't clear.

I meant to say that the casting director interrupts you, with a "Alright get outta here, we don't need you" attitude.

no I misread it.

You thank them and leave. You go into auditions expecting to not get the part since this will happen more often than not. Booking the job is the rareity.

Well, I would go hoping to get it and giving it all I've got. Yet if something like that happened I would brush it off and keep moving, the universe will not stop spinning just because I didn't get a role--it must not be meant.

You run over and choke the living day lights... just kidding.

Not a good sign. I guess like most others said. I would just thank them and move on.

Sounds like you have to have some pretty thick skin to make it in this business. You have to be able to take rejection over and over again.
