- Act. An audition is not
designed to see how well you can read a passage of text, but how
you can take that text and bring out emotions. Your body
language is part of your acting too. Remember to cheat all lines
to the audience even if it means talking to someone who is
standing behind you (or attempting to "upstage" you by making
you want to turn your back to the audience to talk to them).
- Enunciate.
Speak clearly. Speak loudly even when being quiet. Speak to the
last row of the theater. Put a lilt in your voice.
- Be bold. Stand near the
edge of the stage. Try not to get lost in the crowd. Use your
arms and gesture to call attention to your lines and to you.
- Children. It is hard to
audition children for speaking roles because they might have
problems just reading the text, let alone acting. Often, a
director will use different audition processes for children
because of this.
