Audition Advice
Do's and Don'ts in Audition Preparation
Be prepared!
I've seen too many people audition for a prepared monologue and read from a book or paper! Prepared means rehearsed and off the book.
Practice!
Practice different inflexions and interpretations until it feels right.
Follow Michael Shurtleff's Guide Posts to character development.
Practice in front of a mirror.
Practice in front of anyone who will let you.
Practice in front of a video camera. Critique yourself.
Practice it every chance you get, it's very important.
Monologue Selections - Choose Them Carefully
Know Your Monologue - An Inside Tip
Many times after an actor has delivered their monologue as they prepared and rehearsed, the casting director will ask the actor to deliver the same monologue as a small child, or another character with different emotions. The reason for this is to see your ability to take direction and to see your theatrical ability and range.
Be Prepared And Have Fun!
