Let's be honest. No one likes the auditioning process, from beginners to seasoned actors to
the directors and producers who have to sit through them. It's a highly artificial process,
putting an actor in front of a group of tired and grumpy professionals in a bare room and
expecting him or her to come out with a perfect performance. It's stressful, and more often
than not it's futile as well. The chances of an actor getting a job from an audition are tiny. But
still, it has to be done, and if you do it in the right spirit you might actually score the role that
could be the beginning of a long career.
The mistake that many young actors make when going to an audition is thinking they should
be playing a part from the moment they enter the room. Be confident and friendly, stand up
straight and show how re laxed and ready you are - even if you aren't! - and don't be fake. This
may seem like odd advice for an actor, since acting is in a way nothing but fakery, but that is
not what they want to see. Casting directors and the people who h ire them are often looking
for actors to f ill other roles than the one you are reading for, so if you show them who you
really are, how well you handle pressure, and your ability to collaborate and create something
fresh, they are likely to see you as someone they want to work with. Don't dress up for the
part, use too many gestures or over-demonstrate your acting abilities. Actors who try too
hard to stand out can put casting directors off immediately. Instead, give a simple, sincere
and deeply-felt reading of the role - which you have studied well beforehand - and let your
talent speak for itself.
And one last thing. If you are afraid of having a visible case of stage fright, freezing up, or
making a fool of yourself, join the club. Some of the most experienced actors have stories of
nightmare auditions which led to some of their most admired roles. Just keep that in mind as
you stand shaking with fear in front of your judges, take a deep breath and do your best.
