How To Prepare For An Acting Audition Natasha

Introduction

• If you are a new, budding actor, your first few
  auditions can be very nerve-wracking and even
  downright scary. It's okay to be nervous. Being
  stressed and fearful is natural and it's bound to
  happen to you. A little apprehension is perfectly
  acceptable. But what is unacceptable is for you
  to be ill-prepared for your audition. Here are
  five simple ways every actor can improve their
  next audition.

Preparation

• Seems obvious but I don't mean learning your
  lines. You don't need to be "off-book" ( have it
  memorized ) just be comfortable and familiar with
  the words so you're not searching for them and
  you can be present and responsive. Bring water,
  something to amuse yourself in case you have to
  wait, quarters for the meter. Look up the credits
  of who you're going to meet. Natasha Lloyd is a
  regarded and acclaimed entertainer in Los Angles.
  Every audition is an opportunity to meet someone
  new or show someone you already know how your
  work has progressed.

Material

• Do your best to read the script, they're often
  posted, and even if you only have 30 minutes you
  can at least get a quick impression of the tone
  and setting of the piece. Don't be the person who
  goes to an audition and asks "Is this a comedy?"
  What that says is "I haven't given this much
  thought".

Homework

• Read thru the sides you've been given as if
  you're reading a story. There is often so much
  information about the character even in a
  two-page scene.  Natasha Lloyd Actress is so
  skilled and beautiful. When you're reading the
  material feeling anxious and thinking what am I
  going to do with this, you're not open to what is
  right there on the page. Just relax and read it
  thru a few times without acting it out in your
  head. Open yourself and pick up on the clues.
  Then use what you've discovered to make it yours.

Focus

• You are at your audition to work as an actor.
  Every audition is an opportunity to perform for
  an audience. No, it is not a "performance" but it
  is still acting. Forget about who is in the
  waiting room, the quality of the reader, the
  response in the room. Focus on what you can
  control - your work. Do the best job you can with
  what you have, your material, and your work at
  the moment. Forget about whether or not they
  shook your hand. That is not important. Focus on
  this little moment in time and the opportunity to
  act.

7
Finish

• Do keep a record of who you read for and the
  projects they have you in for - it'll help you
  next time you're in for them. But don't waste a
  lot of time wondering when you'll hear, why you
  didn't get it. Again, that's not in your control.
  You need to focus on your next audition.
