AUDITION TIPS
(There are More in the Book!!!)

• During a love scene, do not get sexual with the casting director. Even though some of them might like it, it's not professional.

• Do not make small-talk with anyone in the room.

• Know whom you're reading for and what their accomplishments are.

• Compliment the producers, directors, or casting directors on their latest films or shows.

• Stick to the script as best you can.

• Don't tell casting directors you have to get to another audition. They don't care.

• Don't go all out dressing for a particular character, unless asked to. You can give an idea about the character by dressing "similar."

• Call your agent if you're running late, so someone can call over to the casting office for you.

• If you arrive late without a call, you probably won't be seen.

• Try not to re-schedule an audition unless you really, really have to.

• If you start out weak on a scene, simply ask if you can start over, but you better be there on your next read.

• Set yourself apart from the other actors in the waiting room. Don't speak to anyone.

• Stay centered.

• When auditioning for TV or film, try to read the whole script.
