What to expect at a recall audition and how to prepare for it<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

\u200b\u200b<\/span>Any working actor will tell you<\/span> auditioning\u200b is\u200b <\/span>\u200b<\/span>a<\/span>\u200b\u200b<\/span> job. Any time you get invited to audition<\/span>\u200b<\/span>, you are being invited to work, to sink your teeth into a character and dissect a script. The <\/span>\u200b<\/span>audition <\/span>\u200b<\/span>process<\/span> can be daunting, <\/span>\u200b\u200b<\/span>draining and can <\/span>l<\/span>ead to <\/span>\u200b<\/span>months of waiting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes you<\/span>\u200b<\/span>\u2019ll<\/span> be asked to audition more than once<\/span>\u200b<\/span> to go over the material from a first audition multiple times. \u200b\u200b\u200bThis is what’s known as a recall or a casting callback. Here are some tips and advice on how to prepare for a recall, what to expect and how to get the most out of the experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a \u200bRecall\/\u200bCasting \u200bC\u200ballback?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

A recall (or casting callback) is the second stage of the audition process. They signify that the casting director liked what they saw in the first audition and wants to see more. The director or producer may also be present at a recall, which is a crucial stage for casting. Recalls affirm that you did great work in your initial audition but they’re also a great opportunity to reiterate what makes you right for the part.<\/span><\/p>\n

In \u200bPerson vs Online R\u200becalls<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u200b\u200b<\/span>The casting process can differ from project to project. In most circumstances, auditions take place via self-tape and recalls happen in person or online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/span>In Person Recalls\u200b\u200b\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The casting director<\/span>\u200b <\/span>may want to get a sense of who you are as an actor, which may be harder to convey through a screen. This will lead to them having recalls in person. It\u2019s important to be on time to your recall, so make sure to look up its location and give yourself plenty of time to arrive and prepare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be ready to look at new material that the casting director may have. In person, you may also get to meet people from the production team and have a better opportunity to showcase your work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bOnline Recalls\u200b\u200b<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b<\/span>If the recall is happening online, make sure you take the meeting somewhere private and quiet. Preparing for an online recall is similar to setting up a self-tape. Make sure you have good lighting and set up in front of a plain wall or a backdrop if you have one. The less distracting your space is, the more the casting director can focus on your work.<\/span><\/p>\n

To avoid any technological difficulties, sign in a few minutes before your meeting starts to check everything is working. The casting director usually creates a waiting room before they join the meeting. Once the host starts the meeting, turn on your mic and video feed and change the orientation of your screen so you can see everyone clearly and they can see you.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the recall takes place, it’s important to be as prepared as possible. Treat recalls with the same enthusiasm and preparation as you would a first audition.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to \u200bExpect\u200b in a Recall\u200b<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/span>In a recall, you\u2019ll revisit <\/span>\u200b<\/span>the <\/span>\u200b<\/span>material from your first audition or explore<\/span>\u200b\u200b <\/span>new material that <\/span>\u200b<\/span>the <\/span>\u200b<\/span>casting <\/span>\u200b<\/span>director <\/span>\u200b<\/span>may give you beforehand. Sometimes, the casting director may ask you to participate in a bit of improv or ask you what you think of the character you\u2019re auditioning for. You can also expect to meet more members of the production team, who get introduced further along in the casting process.<\/span><\/p>\n

As long as you\u2019re prepared, nothing that happens in a recall should be that surprising. Casting directors are looking for reasons to book you for the role, not to throw you off.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Prepare\u200b for a Recall\u200b<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u200b\u200bThe key to a successful recall is walking in with confidence \u2013 believe you deserve the chance to play the part because you\u2019ve done the work. Here are a few things you can do to ensure you give the best performance you can at your recall:<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Another Look at the Sides<\/b><\/p>\n

Make sure to go over the material you\u2019re given before the recall, even if you think you know it well. Revisit the character with a fresh perspective but keep the same choices you made in the first audition. If you can, watch your self-tape back and make notes on what you did and how you can explore that further in the recall. Bring a copy of the sides with you, even if you\u2019re off book. Taking a glance at the material in hand is always preferable than having to go and find a copy in the middle of a read.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring Everything You Need<\/b><\/p>\n

Take a pen, a highlighter and any props you may need for your character. Try to choose an outfit closest to your first audition \u2013 this will show the casting director that you\u2019re making clear choices about who you think your character is. You can create a whole look by picking clothes that speak to the sense of the character and help the casting director visualise you in the role.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Your Research on the Production and Character<\/b><\/p>\n

Flesh out the character as much as you can, make notes on any new material and read the whole script if you have a copy. If you don\u2019t have a copy, research what you can about the production i.e. if it\u2019s based on a book, read the book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing the context of your slides within the whole story will help to give you a better idea of the whole project. Looking up the director of the production to see their past projects will give you a sense about how they work. This way you\u2019ll gain further insight by seeing if the production company has worked with actors you know, or if they have past projects that you\u2019ve seen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plan a Routine for the Recall Day to Keep you Calm<\/b><\/p>\n

Most importantly, try to focus your energy by keeping a calm mindset. Auditioning can be stressful, and often when waiting for a recall, we induce anxiety throughout the day. Planning a routine around your recall will help take your mind off the stress of waiting.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if the recall is in the afternoon, organise a morning that will encourage a positive start to the day. It can be as simple as treating yourself to a fancy coffee or watching a show that you enjoy \u2013 something that will fill you with confidence and calm you down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What \u200bHappens \u200bA\u200bfter a R\u200becall?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u200b\u200b<\/span>Very few working actors will be able to tell you what happens next. Many wait weeks to hear back, or never hear back at all. It\u2019s important to <\/span>\u200b\u200b<\/span>deal with the aftermath <\/span>\u200b<\/span>of a recall <\/span>\u200b<\/span>in a <\/span>\u200b<\/span>healthy way and here are some tips for how you can do this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Move onto the Next Audition<\/b><\/p>\n

The best thing to do after an audition or recall is to forget it happened and move onto the next one. If we start <\/span>\u200b<\/span>envisioning<\/span>\u200b<\/span> what it would be like to book the role, we\u2019ll be disappointed if it doesn\u2019t happen. There are plenty of roles and opportunities out there, so look for your next one, keep developing your craft and enjoy the lovely surprise if you do find out you were successful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Take Rejection Personally<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that the outcome of a recall isn\u2019t tied to your self-worth. A rejection isn\u2019t a comment on your ability as an actor. There are various things beyond your control which effect whether you\u2019ll get the job or not and very, very rarely will you be responsible for the reason you didn\u2019t get the role.<\/span><\/p>\n

The truth is you won\u2019t ever know what happens after a recall, not unless you’re directly involved in the casting process. So just try to remember that you did your best, you prepared as much as you could and that\u2019s all you have control over.<\/span><\/p>\n

One thing that\u2019s certain is casting directors call back actors they like and they like actors they can trust to be prepared when they attend an audition. As long as you aspire to be an actor who\u2019s prepared and reliable, you\u2019ll give yourself more opportunities to be called in to audition and eventually you\u2019ll book the role.<\/span><\/p>\n
