audition breakdown
Auditions are vital to obtaining an acting role or a modeling
job. Just remember that it may take dozens--even hundreds--of
auditions before you get your first callback. You will have
to play the numbers game. The more times you audition, the
better your odds of landing a role in a movie or commercial.
You can never know which audition will bring you success;
therefore, you must appear for every audition. Make sure you
go to auditions suitable for your characteristics and talents.
Always remain positive and take advantage of every opportunity.
The key to your future is auditioning in front of major entertainment
networks. The most difficult part is to acquire connections
in the entertainment industry. |

General rules to follow during auditions |
Always know what you are auditioning for. Arrive thirty
minutes prior to the audition time; this will allow you
to check in, warm up, and check out your competition. Bring
at least two photos and resumes. Photos should reflect your
current physical characteristics. Do not chew gum (all directors
hate it). When attending callbacks, always wear the same
attire worn at the original audition. Be confident, smile,
and always have a positive attitude. Act excited about everything
you are asked to do, and follow all instructions.
Actors/Improvisation:
Be prepared for improvisation.
Different voices and dialects are a plus.
Prepare a dramatic and comedic monologue no more than two
minutes in length.
Please ask and note if the audition is going to provide
sides.
Singers:
Bring two selections of sheet music in legible condition--one
up-tempo and one ballad.
Be prepared to sing the best 16 bars.
Know your vocal range.
Sheet music should have full musical notation in the key
in which you will perform.
If the audition requires movement, dress appropriately.
Dancers:
Wear appropriate dance attire.
Bring appropriate dance shoes.
If the audition requires singing, bring at least two selections
of sheet music, one up-tempo and one ballad.
Be prepared to sing the best 16 bars.
