GO FOR IT

William Reynolds on acting:

When auditioning, work on booking the role. Try to work past the negative response's you are inevitably going to get on many, many auditions. Realize that all actors are 'not' the same. The casting director, the agent, is there to see you, that is why you are there. You may look at the script one way while you are waiting and then deliver it quite another way when you're up.  Breathe, and breathe from your

diaphragm. Try to keep your energy level up, while not bouncing off the ceiling in the process. Don't be flat, pay attention to whomever you are reading with or being interviewed by. Treat the audition as if it were a performance, because it is.

Don't just guess and why and what you are doing, Know why and what you are doing.

You probably have some 'gift' that you are trying to take to the next level. Please never be under the illusion that you are the only one that they are seeing or that they are interested in for either representation or the role.

Some many actors, especially beginning actors with little or no experience do not take advantage of what they have. Your skills have to be constantly cleaned up and polished. Do this and then GO FOR IT.
