auditioning is always a challenge for
most actors hi my name is Andrea tram
and welcome to watchmojo.com today i’ll
be taking you through some tips i have
on the audition process before during
and after i know this is very simple but
know your lines you don’t want to get
stuck not knowing your lines during an
audition be prepared always read the
script or the play if it’s available
workshop it understand the scene and
treat the scene as a whole play with a
beginning a middle and an end because
you never know what they’re gonna ask
you in the audition room you always want
to be prepared and for yourself it’s
better that you know the given
circumstances so you can play with the
character and play with the script so
what do you wear to an audition room it
depends sometimes they’ll ask you to
wear something very specific depending
on the role that you’re going for but
generally you do want to be comfortable
you want to be confident because your
body is your tool you want to show your
body but you want to be tasteful at the
same time you want to try to stay
neutral because you never know what
they’re going to ask you to do in the
audition room for the girls if you have
long hair just try both ways try it up
try it down it depends on how much
movement you have in your piece so see
what works for you I just make sure that
your face is clear be punctual it’s
really really important to get there on
time I usually get there about 30
minutes in advance so that i can prepare
myself it’s always good to review your
texts relax your body and your mind calm
down breathe properly and take the time
to awaken your creative self become
alert and just be present so right
before you
the audition room I know this is
difficult but everything that you’ve
learned everything we’ve worked on just
let go of it like over the details and
just be present and play and have fun so
now we’re in the audition room what do
you do to stay present and play what do
I mean by that I mean be in the moment
and turn off that critical voice that
everybody has turn it off so you can go
in there and joy and do your job so when
you go when do you shake the auditioners
hand just feel it out it depends on the
context you’ll know when you walk in
what’s important is to be yourself be
confident when you introduce yourself
and throw out your monologues of course
but don’t be overconfident because
nobody likes to work with egos when you
have the opportunity to ask questions do
so ask about when the callbacks are
because you want to be prepared if you
get called back and also it shows
interest and professionalism if you
happen to make a mistake don’t make a
big deal out of it don’t apologize for
it keep going what I usually do is I
repeat the line and if I know the text
well enough the rest will come through
which stresses the importance of knowing
your lines bring water trust me it’s
really important you’ll never know when
you need it also don’t be afraid to take
your time we usually go faster in
audition settings because we’re nervous
whether you do one two or three pieces
step out of the space that you were just
in it shows professionalism it also gets
you to a neutral place when you
physically step out of the space so
after the audition you’ve usually sends
how well you’ve done if you don’t feel
that you’ve done very well don’t be
heartbroken and go up crime
just learn from the experience and
remember that most of the time they’re
looking for something very specific a
feeling or an essence of the characters
so don’t take it personally persist in
training training is the key it’s a
muscle like any other muscle that you
have to keep working
