HOW TO stand out.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU AUDITION
1. Know that your attitude in the room is as important as your performance. Be someone that people will want to work with.
2. Doing your homework on the project impresses people. Knowing as much as you can about the project and the people who are auditioning you and making the series/film really matters.
If you have this information you will stand out from the crowd.
3. Understand how much work has happened on a TV show or film before you audition – usually years of it - and to respect this. Don’t come in and be ‘the expert’ respect that this has been someone’s ‘baby’ and be curious with them about it.
4. Really know how big the TV machine is and how many factors go into who is cast and to just come in tp do the work playfully knowing it's not about "do they like me?" - you are in the room-- they do-- so now just do the work.
5. If you are totally unprepared don’t do it. It is a waste of everyone’s time and no one will forget it.
6. Be able to change your performance. Don't come in with a decision-- be able to do it differently" *pivot is the word I use - which means to be able to change direction with ease again and again and again.
