In case you are called to 2012 auditions, expect merely a handful of people to be present, and not just a very large crowd. In addition to yourself and the casting director, another people that matter, might be the director, a camera operator, if the auditions are being taped, and perhaps a representative of the advertising agency, if the audition is for a commercial.
As soon as your turn to audition arrives, the casting director would have already auditioned many hundreds of individuals, which means by this time, they could be bored and maybe irritable. You can easily seize the instant to create a “Wow” moment, and make the directors’ job easier, or you can be unprepared and destroy your chances of getting any role.
After some brief introductions, you might ask for your headshot and resume. Someone may also ask to take a picture, so you should smile and look your very best. Depending on the role for which you are auditioning, your clothing should really be appropriate. If you are auditioning for a role as being a business person, it may be best to wear a crisp business suit. If the role is that of a cowboy, you must at least look like a cowboy, perhaps by wearing jeans and a shirt. The key is to be subtle while looking likes your character, and not being in a costume, that can help you in becoming more distinguishable from other participants.
When you are auditioning for a commercial, your appearance is critical, because you effectively become a salesperson for the product, and you will probably be asked for several profiles, including front, back and sides. With television commercials, you will be asked to slate, which implies to state your complete name, before being directed to start acting the role. If the role is for a movie, TV show, or theatrical play, you will be asked to sit in a chair, stand still or walk around. Depending on the script, you might even be asked to portray a different character in order to examine your versatility. Be always ready to expect the unexpected, be ready to work in unusual situations in a moment’s notice. Many performers practice the art of improvisation, so that you can get prepared for the unexpected. Improvisation may help to perform spontaneously in the case of unexpected occurrences, while you still remain in character.
You may be asked to read the script repeatedly, together with the casting director suggesting some changes, perhaps for being angrier, softer or even more forceful. This may be seen as a good sign, simply because you have his attention and she or he might find you of great interest. With interest being piqued, you stand a better chance of having a call back.
