When going to acting auditions or casting calls, actors devote most of their energy to their audition pieces or script sample. It is true, that unless you are totally confident with your material you will never convincingly acquit yourself in the audition.
However, there are additional factors that may seem trivial, but could also have an effect on the outcome. These include:
- Your manner, not only with the panel at the auditions, but also with fellow auditionees. Whether you are successful at this audition or not, it pays to never ‘close the door behind you’, and a positive, relaxed and friendly attitude creates as much of an impression as your acting skill.
- Your interest in the both the current project, and in the work of your audition panel. It doesn’t take much effort to learn a bit about who you are auditioning for: your interest in their work is a simple courtesy, but gives a lasting impression.
- Your punctuality. It sounds banal, but reliability is an asset in any actor, and a clue to that is if you turn up in good time for your auditions.
- What you wear. A choice of clothing that is sensitive to the demands of the role not only helps to show your aptitude for the part, but also demonstrates your imaginative understanding for the project.
