Auditions Tips
1) Come at least 15 minutes earlier to your cal time.2) Make sure not to eat at least two hours before your call time.
3) Try not to talk with anyone in the audition room. Kindly ask them not to disturb your preparation. No, it is not rude, it is necessary.
4) When you come into the audition, it is strongly recommended to arrive as the character. Remember that this is why you are here for. Your own persona can come out only after the casting director thanked you for coming.
5) If you require to bring your own monologue, always choose something that feels familiar to you. Do not take inaccuracy risks when you auditioning. Leave the risks in your acting class.
6) Choose a strong piece that do not exceed 5 minutes. A good efficient length would be 2-3 minutes.
7) Remember that there was some action before the character begun to speak. Think what happen before your character speaks its first line. It will help you get into the character faster and most likely eliminate some disturbing butterflies.
8) Don not rush your lines. Even if you feel you lost it. You are not a mind reader, and therefore do not know what the casting director is looking for.
9) Many times the casting director would tell you to say your name to the camera. Sometimes this is the only thing you have to do in your audition. Do not take this thing lightly. It is the way you present yourself, even with one line that can get you the audition.
10) BELIEVE.
