How many people does he need?
Auditioning can be stressful. Whether you’ve done it a hundred times or if it’s your first attempt. Everyone wants to “get the part.” And while there’s sure-fire recipe to get you to land that role, there are ways to make your experience less filled with anxiety.
Our effort with this workshop is to give you tips and a few reassurances that will help you feel more prepared for whatever may come when you get to the audition.
We will talk about:
  • Being prepared — know what the show you are auditioning for is all about … knowing the characters in the show … understanding what the production staff might expect from you.
  • Being confident — having faith in yourself … know your strengths and play to them … know there’s no one else like you … understanding proper body language and posture
God, I really blew it!
I really blew it!
How could I do a thing like that?
  • Being flexible — expect the unexpected … don’t think you know how it’s going to go … be ready to change what you are doing when the staff asks you … playing more than just one emotion … take risks
  • Dressing appropriately — knowing that what you wear can impact not only your attitude, but the staff’s impression of you … understanding what you will be doing during auditions is moving around, so dress like you know that
God, I think I’ve got it
I think I’ve got it
I knew he liked me all the time
Still it isn’t over
  • Using your waiting time ­— knowing how to not just sit there and scroll your phone while others are auditioning … studying the other auditioners …
  • Controlling your nerves — understanding that everyone is nervous … helping you make your nerves work to your advantage … remembering to breathe
  • Having fun — realizing this is not life or death — it’s just a show and the whole reason you are here is to enjoy yourself with your friends

In conclusion, by attending our workshop, you’ll gain valuable insights and practical strategies to navigate auditions with confidence and ease. Discover the secrets to being prepared, confident, flexible, and memorable. Whether you’re a seasoned actor or just starting out, this workshop will empower you to land more roles and enjoy the audition process. Don’t wait any longer!
