We answer your questions about what audition sides are, how to prepare them and whether you need to be off-book in auditions.<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve been invited to an audition and given sides \u2014 this is an exciting moment! But what now? Here’s what you need to know.<\/p>\n

What Are Audition Sides?<\/h3>\n

Sides are a small section of the script actors are given before an audition for either a play, film or television show. The word ‘side’ originates from Shakespeare, who would give actors a small part of the script to save on paper and from having to write it out multiple times. Perhaps it was also a good way to keep the play a secret from competitors.<\/p>\n

Sides can range from a few sentences to several pages. You may even be given multiple sides from different parts of the script. The sides might be from the original script, or it could be a \u2018dummy side\u2019 written solely for the audition, perhaps because the original script needs to be kept confidential.<\/p>\n

How to Prepare a Side<\/h3>\n

When preparing sides for your audition, Michelle Danner, film and stage director and renowned acting coach recommends you \u201cread like you are the most astute detective on Earth. Uncover all the clues that are in the text, in the subtext, and trust what your imagination gives you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Your interpretation of the character you\u2019re auditioning for will be of great interest to the audition panel. Do as much research as you can, let your imagination play, and build an interpretation, or several, for the character you\u2019re auditioning for.<\/p>\n

Actor, Yassine Mkhichen, represented by AK Agents, explains that \u201cPreparation is\u00a0key but varies from actor to actor. I prepare by reading the script a number of times,\u00a0trying to understand the circumstances presented to me. I then work on the character,\u00a0digging for information, then look at the script and ask why, who, what, and when before\u00a0bridging the given circumstances and my character together to paint the whole picture.\u00a0Then I finally learn the lines!\u201d<\/p>\n

Do Sides Need to be Memorized?<\/h3>\n

This can depend on the audition, and who is auditioning you. Some casting directors will prefer you off-book, whereas others don\u2019t mind if you have your sides with you. It might be a good idea to check with your agent if there\u2019s a preference.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jessica Hartley, Course Leader\u00a0on the\u00a0MA\/MFA Actor Training and Coaching, at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, says when preparing sides, \u201cyou can never know the lines well enough. Learn them well. But don\u2019t learn intonation or rhythm, don\u2019t set them. Make them easy in your mouth so they just fall out. Say them constantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019re likely to perform better if you know your lines well. If you don\u2019t, casting directors may not want you off-book if you\u2019re forgetting lines and slipping out of character. If you\u2019re likely to forget lines, in most circumstances you\u2019re better off keeping hold of the sides.<\/p>\n

In an ideal world, you\u2019d learn the lines thoroughly. But if you\u2019re given little time with the sides, or it\u2019s a large chunk of script, or perhaps several sides, it may not be possible to learn them in the time given. Also, if you’re not given much time, memorizing lines may not be the best use of your time. You may prefer to spend the limited time researching and creating the character you\u2019re auditioning for instead of learning lines. There\u2019s no one answer that fits all when it comes to being off-book, you\u2019ll have to weigh up all the variables and make a choice.<\/p>\n

You can hear what casting directors have to say about\u00a0being off-book in auditions<\/a>\u00a0in this video.<\/p>\n

Listen and Be Flexible<\/h3>\n

Be careful not to over-rehearse your sides as you might be directed in a new way, and the panel will be looking for how flexible you are, and how well you respond to direction.\u00a0Likewise, don\u2019t become set on your interpretation of a character as you might be asked to take them in a different direction, and you\u2019ll need to be adaptable. Do go in with an interpretation and be prepared to change it.<\/p>\n

Online Sides<\/h3>\n

For the initial stage of an audition, you may be asked to perform your sides as a\u00a0self-tape filmed at home<\/a>. Alice Currey, agent and founder of AK Agents, shines a light on how to prepare for this, \u201cbeing fluent in technology for the quality of the self-taping process is an absolute must.\u00a0Phones have good cameras<\/a>\u00a0and taping has been the norm for some time, so what is expected of actors are quality tapes. Ensure that noise and other distractions are at a minimum,\u00a0the sound is clear, the lighting is good<\/a>, and you film in a mid-shot with a plain wall – we prefer a grey or a blue rather than white. If the casting director hasn\u2019t specifically requested just one take, include two or three options with different interpretations to show your range.\u201d<\/p>\n

How to successfully prepare sides varies depending on the performer and audition but be honest with yourself about what you need to do to excel. Prioritise the work that\u2019s going to benefit your audition performance the most.<\/p>\n
