I once auditioned to play Janis Joplin and I still sometimes wake up in a cold sweat thinking that there's a tape of me auditioning to play Janis Joplin out there somewhere... so mortifying. It was when I was younger, and was auditioning for everything, so there were roles that I would go for that didn't resonate with me, in my soul, and that was torturous. I mean I wish Janis Joplin was in me, but she really isn't.
