Giving you as much time as possible to prepare for your theatre audition will in turn give you the best chance of getting the part you want with the theatre company you most want to work for.
The biggest benefit of having Audition Now finding your auditions for you is that it gives you the breathing space to research the company and its past productions in depth. This research is every bit as much the foundation of your audition as the piece you present and having an understanding of what the theatre company in question represent will give you a huge advantage in audition before even arriving at the designated theatre.
We can also help our clients to achieve their personal goals through training and advice from theatre experts in the form of our short courses. Designed with those who are new to a career in theatre in mind, our courses advice you on how best to present yourself at a theatre audition and will even walk you through potential audition scenarios so you have a good idea of what to expect when you arrive.
Often newcomers to the world of theatre auditions are not as prepared as they ought to be in terms of 'selling' themselves, yet in the theatre it is as essential to present a CV and a professional demeanour as it is in any business interview. This is why Audition Now's courses will advice you of how to draw up a CV to impress and demonstrate how having a professional photo portfolio to hand can decide whether you get that all important theatre part you are hankering after.
Our short course in theatre auditions will also give you a demonstration of basic sight-reading so that you won't be tripped up by a spontaneous request to get to grips with the script being presented. Most people understand that you should prepare some examples of pieces that demonstrate your strong points but not everyone expects to be asked to read from a theatre piece they are unfamiliar with.
Again, this is where Audition Now can help you to respond correctly to a difficult situation. With our insight into basic sight-reading to back you up, you are less likely to be thrown by a situation like this. If you are going to a theatre audition for the first time, no one is going to expect you to be able to create the character from scratch but the director will be looking for you to demonstrate an understanding of the situation depicted and to react accordingly.
For example, you can draw on your new knowledge of how to scan a theatre script quickly to familiarise yourself with the relationships between the characters and to recreate the emotions shown in the text. Often in a basic reading scenario you will be presented with a text that is highly emotive in some aspect. This is done to see how you react on your feet to what can potentially be a disturbing scene.
Although situations like this can seem daunting at first, the purpose is to let you 'feel' the piece and for both parties to see how you react to the material. Being presented with an opportunity like this at any theatre audition is usually a good indication that the director likes you, so relax and run with it.
Having insider knowledge of what's to be expected of you and of what might be asked of you at any theatre audition means you can arrive on time confident that you are armed with the right paperwork and attitude. Add to this a professional working understanding of the company's past productions and you should have all the crucial facets of the backbone of a positive theatre audition in place.
