There are many useful tips for how to make the best of acting auditions or casting calls.
The first is that you should prepare well. If you have a script in advance, you should be totally familiar with the material, not just in knowing it from memory. You should be ready to deliver the lines in a totally different way from what you have prepared. This is how the auditions panel test your responsiveness to direction.
Give some thought to your appearance at the audition: if you know something about the role, it will help you to wear clothes that are in-keeping with the character you are portraying.
Very often you will be asked to give a cold reading; performing from a text that you haven’t seen before. You can only prepare for this by testing yourself in the same way. Give yourself two minutes to look over some lines you have never seen before, and see how confidently you can perform them. If might help to try this out in front of friends or family.
You should make a point of arriving at acting auditions a quarter of an hour early, ensuring that you get used to the venue, but it also shows that you are reliable.
