Most actors suffer from nerves when they go to auditions: for many, auditions are actually more nerve-wracking than performances. There are plenty of tips for how to cope with nerves before and during your audition, but the thing that helps most of all is to get used to the process of auditioning. This means that it is important for you to take every opportunity you can to audition. The more you audition, the more you become comfortable with the process. It is even worth auditioning when you do not particularly want the role or you don’t want to have to travel to do the work.
Some people think it helps to control your breathing; others suggest imagining the audition panel as the audience, or even playing your piece to the wall behind them. It might help to imagine that you are the only person in the room, or to write down all the things that you feel fearful of on your way to the audition, in order to help you master them.
One tip is to prepare your audition piece in three completely different voices, preferably as ridiculous as possible, so that when you come to perform, you are concentrating very hard on reciting in the most convincing way possible.
