St. Peter's Players  Audition Tips

Ask any director what matters most when an actor shows up to an audition. Most will say, "They need to be prepared." (Showing up on time can't hurt either.)  These should be obvious, but it's surprising how many actors make a bad impression with something as simple as inappropriate behavior. It can knock you out before you step into the ring.  

Other suggestions we heard from CDs: Avoid unnecessary chit-chat.  Don't linger in the room for too long after you read.  Stay away from using most props, and avoid making physical contact with the  director during your audition.

A feeling of desperation is another sure way not to get a callback from casting auditions.  Never view an audition as nerve-wracking nightmare, or make it look that way.  Consider each casting audition an opportunity: A chance to perform for an audience — albeit a small one - or walk into the audition saying, "No matter what happens, I'll do the best I can today."

Remember: The director is not here to judge you harshly; he or she simply wants to find the perfect person for the role.  That could be you.  The director is on your side.  He will be looking for your best qualities.  All of them have gone through the audition process as actors and they understand how nerve wracking the process can be.  So relax and do your best. 

The best way to combat nerves is to be prepared.
