The first thing to do is to bask in the understanding that you are talented, that you have something to offer. Congratulate yourself for landing a chance to audition. This is the time to focus on your strengths, to find a way to reduce the stress in your life. Do not over think. Rather, focus on the story, the monologue and picture a successful performance.
After that, take the time to prepare as soon as possible. Remember that acting auditions must be taken seriously. Passion, interest and hard work is what makes a difference.
If there are casting calls, find a way to check out the format, the venue and the other important details that you have to know so that you can prepare well. You have to know what they are expecting to get out of the audition.
Here are some questions that you need to ask:
1. Will you be doing the auditions on your own or as a part of the act? In this way you can start collaborating with other people that you may build rapport as soon as possible. This is one way to fix the errors before starting your acting auditions.
2. How many minutes are you allowed performing? Will you be performing one or two acting monologues? In this way, you can measure the time of performance and be able to provide much needed impact in just a few seconds if you have limited time.
3. Ask if there would be a script provided or if it would be a cold reading, having the script in your hands or having an idea of the concept would be a big help for your character reference. This is one way to be accurate.
4. Who will be observing? You have to know this in order to be able to acknowledge the judges, their talents and to be able to give the necessary respect that each needs.
5. Be prepared to memorize a given script or your own script. Being able to memorize your part gives you more confidence and stability.
6. If you will be asked to create your own monologue, be as creative as possible. Let others do a critic on your monologue. Have friends over to watch and read your monologue. Practice with fellow actors who can provide constructive criticism. Family members are usually not the best judge for talent because they have the tendency to get biased especially with parents. It is better to get harsher but realistic comments from the experts.
