10 AuditionTips to win the audition room.

10 Things/ways To Win The Audition Room and Wow The Casting
Director

1. come with a resume, at least a photograph of you(5 by 7 plain
background)

2. Use the stage. A lot of young actors are guilty of this. Once you are
on stage, the entire space belongs to you. Don’t stand on one spot as if
you are rooted. But don’t make unnecessary movement, let your
movement and action be motivated by the meaning you are
expressing. No uncoordinated nervous movement
Your verbal action is more important than what you say. Its not what
you say but how you say it.
If it is possible you have to choose between action and less words,
choose action because action always speaks louder than words.

3. Less is more. Stillness is so powerful. Understand that your
imposing stillness and graceful movement do more for you than
jumping all over the whole place

4. Though over acting does not have any place on the professional
stage, it is better to over act than under act. All I am saying is give it
your best.

5. Show enthusiasm, passion and interest - it makes the difference

6. Don’t look arrogant even if you feel you know more than the whole
crew put together, if you are worth correcting, you are worth
keeping.

7. Listen carefully and follow instructions. Read the audition notice

8. Improvise if you are not given any direction because that is one of
the qualities of a good actor

9. Be happy and enjoy yourself and let it show. It doesn’t come with
pain but with joy.

10. Be nice to others even if you don’t approve of them. No body is
asking you to like or even love them just be nice

WHAT WORKS

Finally you are here on the Dee-day and the hour has finally come . While
you are waiting to be auditioned or maybe interviewed, you can’t just seem
to stay calm despite everything, and you thought you had it figured out
before until this very moment.
Don’t worry. Be happy!  Anyway that was met to be a joke. Its actually more
than - don’t worry be happy.

Now you are here and the real butterfly literally is in your Tommy – ha
ha … well that’s ok and to some extent its to be expected as a performer if
you know what I mean.
But you are not suppose to fret but ride on the wings of that anxious moment
to victory

And let me tell you from experience, its just usually in the beginning that
you will feel this and soon it will go away.
And if you have been trained, we use what is called CONFIDENT
OUTLOOK to douse this. I will explain what that means in part two
So, WHAT WORKS FOR ME.
