Questions you should ask and know when performing an acting audition

These are some of the questions you should answer when you prepare to perform or audition an acting scene. Be creative and try to think out of the box. Casting Directors, producers and directors respect actors who are original and creative but still are true to the script.

If you do not know the answer below just use your best judgment but please make a choice. There really is not a right or wrong but just your interpretation and ability to demonstrate it to the audience.

By using this list below it should help you to perform and understand the acting scene much better.
Casting directors stress that you need to make and be able to perform strong choices when auditioning.

When practicing your audition do it for a friend or family and see if they are able to answer these questions by witnessing the actual performance.
Always try to remember the audience only knows what you are thinking by performance. Learn to connect with the audience by being able to let them feel and understand what you are thinking and conveying.

Make a worksheet every time you audition and fill in the following questions

What is the physical description of my character?

What is the personality like of my character?

What are my emotions at the time of the scene?

What are the personality traits and my relationship to the other characters in the scene?

Where is the scene taking place? Describe the setting and the time of day?

What type of Film, T.V. Series or Commercial is this (Drama, adventure, comedy, period piece etc.)?

What is my character trying to accomplish?

What does my character want the other character to DO (now)?

What are the other characters trying to accomplish?

What details or nuances that make sense can I add to the scene that can help to make it interesting without changing the scene?

What is the pace of the scene (depending on the situation you can slow down or speed up just as in real life even in the middle of the scene)?

Where are the key shifts in the scene (emotional, mental, physical etc.)?

Do I completely know and understand the scene, (once you really do you can then let the scene flow naturally and live the moment)?

This may seem like a lot of things to think about especially in a short scene, but having the ability to display this will give your performance depth and believability. For more info go to http://www.crazeagency.yolasite.com
