It can be easy to worry about doing your auditions in the wrong way.<\/p>\n<p>But there is no \u2018right\u2019 way to audition, and at the end of the day there is only so much you can actually influence. So rather than worrying about the factors you can\u2019t change, you should focus instead on what you do have power over. That way, you can leave the audition knowing you\u2019ve done everything you can to secure the part. Here are David&#8217;s tips for feeling more empowered in the audition process:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Make the best of what you have<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">The only control you have is learn the lines, turn up on time, do the best you can with the situation and things you\u2019re given.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">David Mumeni<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It can take as much as 3 days to commit something to your long-term memory, time you won\u2019t always have. Sometimes the script may not be given to you until the day before the audition,\u00a0and sometimes the context of your role isn\u2019t made clear to you.<\/p>\n<p>The casting director is not testing you to see how quickly you can pick things up. No one will ever be cast in a role when their performance is bad because they learned their lines quickly. The audition is all about finding out how you\u2019d perform on the day when you turn up on set with the lines and context you\u2019ve been given. Casting directors are aware you may not have\u00a0all the information desirable for the part, but want to see what you can do with what you have.<\/p>\n<p>So if you were only given a short time to prepare, don\u2019t feel doomed. Trust that the casting director is aware of this, and walk out of that audition afterwards feeling sure that you did as well as can be expected.<\/p>\n<p>But if you do get an appropriate amount of time, make sure you use it. Don\u2019t leave learning your lines to the last minute. With so little that you have control over, you want to shine where you can. Learn your lines, leave yourself plenty of time to get to your audition, and once you\u2019re there&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Look like you know what you\u2019re doing<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you\u2019re nervous while you\u2019re waiting for your audition, try smiling to yourself. An audition is pretty much a job interview, with an employer who plans to invest money in you. They\u2019re going to want someone who\u2019s confident, who\u2019ll get along easily with the people they\u2019ve already hired, who\u2019s going to do the best job possible. Someone who looks terrified or on the verge of tears won\u2019t make them feel confident about investing money.<\/p>\n<p>And so, your performance starts before you enter the casting. Your first role: a friendly, confident person who is at ease and can be trusted to do a good, professional job.\u00a0The casting director is seeing how you would be in a situation where you\u2019re meeting someone for the first time. You don\u2019t have to be loud or a different person. Just be you, but confident.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Trust your instincts<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You know acting. It\u2019s your job &#8211; your passion &#8211; and when you get a script you will have a sense of what you think is the best way to play your role. The policewoman\u2019s lines may strike you as in need of a comedic delivery, or the milkman should have a sinister air about him. Trust your instincts in these moments and be truthful to yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Beware: when you\u2019re learning your lines, don\u2019t sacrifice the truthfulness of your performance to try deliver the odd line in the \u2018correct way\u2019. Even if you have access to what the writer intended, or how something &#8216;should&#8217; be delivered, keep true to your instinct about the part\/the lines. It will likely make your performance feel stilted and not alive otherwise.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Don\u2019t assume you\u00a0screwed up if you don\u2019t get the job<\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote class=\"quoteMacro style1 noAuthorImage\">\n<div class=\"quoteText\">\n<div class=\"quoteTextInner\">It\u2019s normal to get rejected, but it isn\u2019t necessarily because of your acting.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorInformation\">\n<div class=\"quoteAuthorName\">David Mumeni<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Don\u2019t take a rejection as a criticism against your performance. There is a lot involved in the casting process,\u00a0much of which you won\u2019t have control over,\u00a0all of which can contribute to a rejection. Even if you give your best audition, you can\u2019t get the part if you don\u2019t look like the sister they\u2019ve already cast. Or the role may have already been offered to someone else, and the auditions are being held while the casting director awaits confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>If you know you left learning the script to the last minute or were a bundle of nerves in the waiting room, then that may be something to work on for your next audition. But in most cases it\u2019s not your fault. You didn\u2019t do anything wrong &#8211; you just weren\u2019t what they were looking for in this audition. But there\u2019s always the next one.<\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks to David for an\u00a0informative session.
