So am going to an audition tomorrow but this audition is mixed up for people wanting to go into modeling, acting, and singing, and am going into the acting part, am i suppose to have my script ready, what should i present? I have a good memory so by tomorrow ill be done, by the way how long does my script have to be? What should i wear?
Okay, first you need to calm down, because judges can smell nerves and nervous makes your performance nervous and awkward to say the least.
Often times when you go into an audition, they have a script ready for you to read from and an actor/actress there to work with you. If you are given a partner, make eye contact, be sincere.
Since you are unsure, find a monologue online that suits you. If it’s too long they will cut you off DON’T take this personally, just understand that they have other performers to judge.
Just play it cool. Don’t be all awkward and nervous.
They will either like you or they won’t and if they don’t f**k ‘em.
There will be other auditions. I’ve bombed so many auditions, but at the same time I’ve played plenty of other good roles:
Maureen – Rent
Ol’ Green Grasshopper – James and the Giant Peach
Fiyero – Wicked
Dionysus – The Frogs
Paulette – Legally Blonde
and now I’m getting ready to star in my own musical
Anthony: The Musical
But don’t sweat it, kid. Things happen. If they don’t like you they don’t.
Look professional or they won’t take you seriously.
DON’T WORRY
They will like you or they won’t it doesn’t matter.
Because as one door closes a bigger, better, and more ornate door opens.
