Acting auditions are unique opportunities to promote your talent, so it is important to present yourself successfully in the short space of time that you are before the casting panel.
You will know beforehand what you are auditioning for, so a minimum part of your preparation should be to research the theatre or production company that is holding the auditions, and something about the upcoming project. You will also need to have your prepared audition pieces up to scratch: not just memory perfect, but also carefully nuanced so that you can adapt them to the situation of the actual audition. It pays to have two contrasting pieces prepared, so that casting directors can see your range as a performer – for example, classical and contemporary, or tragic and comic.
A fully professional 10×8 headshot is worth the expense. Very often where audition panels find it hard to choose, whether for theatre auditions or TV casting calls, they will refresh their memory of you by reference to your photo, so it needs to be a true but also flattering reflection of you. Don’t forget to include in your CV details of your physical characteristics, such as height, colour of eyes and such like, as well as full details of your experience, training and additional qualifications, such as fight-skills or horse-riding.
