Audition Game Plan I've long known that that many voiceover and on-camera actors have trouble making the leap from student to working actor. That professional milestone requires an assimilation of information learned in classes and a trust in one's abilities to deliver a truthful, realistic, and
engaging performance when money is on the line.
Assuming your competitors will also do a good job at the audition, the only thing you can consistently rely on is your distinct, personal imprint. That special quality includes your:
1. Unique sound or look.
2. Intellectual approach to script analysis.
3. Emotional accessability.
4. Willingness to share your personal history through the words or actions provided in the copy.
Once you understand the content, connect emotionally with the problem and solution. Personalize your message to someone you know who needs this emotional help. Say the words aloud and give them action. Make vocal or
emotional adjustments if the words sound phony or stilted. Give your story a beginning, middle and end. Stay
grounded as you allow the listener or viewer to come to you. Enjoy the process and more bookings will come your way!
