Surviving the economic downturn has not been easy for actors, but those that cope best are the performers who offer not only a range of skills, but also a variety of performance styles.
What casting directors are looking for in acting auditions and casting calls is a wide range of different types: it is the difference between the characters in a drama that creates the conflicts and tensions that excite an audience.
As a performer, your opportunities can only improve if you have a choice of possible characterisations that you are comfortable portraying: the more you can do, the more varied the casting calls and acting auditions it is worth your trying for.
So, the next time you are ‘resting’, take the time to try out new material for auditions, and learn pieces that contrast with each other. This will help you to develop a more flexible performance manner, and will encourage you to try for new and different roles.
The other important thing is to inform yourself fully before you go to your next audition: what is the production and what roles are they looking to fill? This information will help you choose material that is appropriate, as well as giving you a clue about how to dress and present yourself for the audition.
