YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE AUDITIONING

IN MY OPINION:

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE AUDITIONING;

Do be mindful of your fellow actors waiting.

It’s great to be friendly, and a genuine smile at those around you will certainly do no harm. But please resist the urge to blindly begin socializing. Many people will likely be reviewing their monologue, studying sides, or generally focusing on keeping themselves centered and prepared before they walk into their audition. The quickest way to make a pest of yourself is to boorishly encroach on the personal time/space of others, and heightened pre-audition nerves might make your seat neighbor a little less tolerant than he’d usually be. Bottom line: just be respectful of everyone’s needs. They want and deserve a clear head before their audition just as much as you do.
