Be Prepared

Actors love to act, but fear the audition. Why?

Because if you don't get the audition done correctly and well, then the casting director or director cannot see you ability, and you will be sitting at home watching someone else doing 'your job', while you prepare for your next audition. Right?

We (you) can only do what you can do. You portray the character to be as you see the character. You can control your preparation. And while i'm on that particular subject let me interject this. {WAY TOO MANY BEGINNERS THINK THEY ARE PREPARED WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE}. That said let me continue. Actors can get so focused on the audition, the scene, trying to be perfect that they blow the whole thing. If you have actually studied acting and not just watched other actors, then you are almost there.

My advice. relax and enjoy yourself.
