What is an audition?
An audition as an opportunity to show your skills and ability, through a performance or interview. You may be asked to do a monologue, a group performance or an interview. It is important not to over act in a audition, but instead commit 100% to the given circumstanced of the character. In an audition you should improvise within the knowledge of the character, because if you perform a monologue and the director asks you to do it again, but you perform it in exactly the same way, he/she is less likely to give you the job. There are different types of auditions, for example radio, theatre, TV or film.
Radio audition -in a radio audition, the director will ask you to read into a microphone, so that they can hear your voice and decide if its right for the character they are looking for.
Film/TV audition- in a film or TV audition, the director will give you part or all of the script and you will have to read it in font of a camera. this is so that the director can see how you look on camera.
Theatre audition- in a theatre audition the director will ask to see your monologue, but unlike TV or radio they will be concentrating on your whole physicality, to see how you connect your voice and body.
Why is working out you physical objectives so important?
Having a physical objective changes the way you deliver your lines. A physical objective gives you ability to use your body and voice. when you use your voice and body as one, your performance immediately becomes more naturalistic and you 'act' less. Having an objective makes you live in the given circumstances.
