How To AuditionHow To Audition. An audition is simply an arrangement set up either by you or your agent. Auditioning for potential roles you will have to show of you abilities and strengths as an actor in order to get the part. You must make sure that you are organised at all times. It’s no good having audition dates scribbled on a piece of paper; write them down in an organiser. You may spend all day auditioning and you don’t want to forget one. Castings at first will cause you a lot of tension and anxiety but this will affect your performance. With time learn how to control your anxiety Shaking is due to anxiety and occurs when the muscles spasmodically contract creating friction between muscles and other body tissues. This friction creates heat, which raises body temperature (causing you to sweat). During anxiety...

It’s also a good idea to carry round with you a map with pre-planned directions to save you an embarrassing phone call. Try to arrive about 15-20 minutes earlier than scheduled. This mean that if you are given any hand outs you will have time to read over it and relax before the audition. If you are going to be late make sure to ring the casting studio. What ever you do, do not turn up wearing the latest fashion. Make sure that you are wearing clean, conservative clothing that is easy to move around in. If there are any dress requirements, make sure to of researched before the audition. And easy on the make up! When you arrive to the audition, give your self a few minutes to relax first, before handling any text or handouts the casting directors may give you. When you walk into castings you may recognise other actors in there with you. Do not get nervous, for one they may be auditioning for another part and secondly what the casting director is looking for may be more suitable for you, most of the time you will face competition but don’t let the alter your own performance. Casting can last a matter of minutes or a matter of seconds. There is a well-known myth that if a casting director asks you to stop your piece 20 seconds into it, that you haven’t got the part. This is nonsense, maybe the casting director thought you look perfect for the part and did not want to waste any more of your time. When you enter the casting room, make sure to greet people politely and when you feel that the casting has come to an end just smile and thank those who auditioned you. Only if a director asks for your CV leave it with them. When you enter the room to start the casting call, remember, “The casting director always takes the lead”. If they decided to leave the room or get a glass of water, do not stand impatiently or wander around the room. Your audition starts as soon as you enter. Listen to whatever the director tell you to do. Quite often they will redirect you. Make sure you listen and do what he / she asks. Quite often they want to see how well they can work with you. If you are in a group audition, never redirect any of the other actors, even if they are awful. This could reduce your chances of landing a role. Throughout the audition try and take a mental note of all the names of the producers, casting directors, and helper and jot them down afterwards, you never know when you may need them! Lets get the picture straight, you either at an audition or maybe your lucky enough to be at your first company rehearsal and the director sits the ‘potential cast’ down states his intentions and what he/she wants from the play. Then says, “Ok we will have a read through of the script”... Read More » Submit an article Directory | Articles | Castings | Contents | TAW Artists | About | Links | © 2006 TheActingWebsite.com |
