If you are leaving drama college you will want to start organising yourself for future work prospects. By now, you will have a firm grounding in a wide range of aspects of stage work, and possibly even some film experience, and you will want to take every opportunity you can to put your training and experience to the test.
You need to ensure that you have a selection of possible pieces for auditions with which you are totally familiar, and which show off your particular talents to the best advantage. It is wise to have variety in this, whether it is contemporary contrasting with classical, or serious with funny or light. This will help the panel at your acting auditions appreciate the range of your ability.
You need to ensure you have an up-to-date CV with a comprehensive account of your past roles, but also your relevant skills, such as fencing or horse-riding. A 10×8 headshot of yourself will help fix your face in the panel’s mind.
Make a point of getting to any acting auditions a quarter of an hour or so early. It helps you to be fully prepared for your two minutes in front of the casting director, and also shows respect.
You will want to get to as many theatre or TV auditions as you can in your first months looking for work. At Audition Now we specialise in keeping our clients informed of all the latest work opportunities, texting them direct to their mobile phone. You couldn’t have a better start to your acting career.
