THE PERFORMANCE

• First impressions at every acting audition count. When entering the acting audition room be confident, positive and friendly.

• It may be helpful to remind yourself that the people in front of you are on your side. They want you to be great! It's good to be personable and as open as possible. You want the director to work with you personally as well as professionally.

• Try to keep any questions you may have to a minimum. Directors are busy people and too many questions can seem overly ingratiating.

• You have to get yourself in peak shape. Get excited and get animated! Dashing into the room will get you noticed in a way that has the casting director already interested.

• Once you are at the audition don’t be a clown, but don’t be afraid to make jokes either. Don’t forget that these are human beings just like you and whether the scene is comedic or dramatic, they will remember someone with a sense of humor.

• Your initial monologue should be no more than two minutes long. Have others prepared because these will show your range and diversity. Have a longer monologue prepared, just in case the director requests it.

• The director may ask you to re-read after direction, so good listening skills are important. At this point it's better to ask questions, rather than to assume you know what the director wants.

THE RESULT

• There are many ways that you can improve your chances of getting a role, but you may still be overlooked.

• You should not consider this a reflection of your ability.

• It just indicates that the casting panel thought that someone else was more suitable to that particular role, at that particular time.

• If you do get called back for a second audition then well done.
