Dare To Be Different
Most actors think (and are often taught) that being natural is enough for an audition. It isn't. The most dynamic actor gets the part.
Learn to make exciting choices. Learn to avoid playing it safe. Dare to stand out. Dare to be different. Dare to win.
Learn to access your character and make choices quickly and confidently, as well as stay connected to your breath and concentrate on your work rather than your nerves. This way you are able to release the part as soon as the audition is over, rather than obsessing for weeks.
These are not exercises for the classroom. You take this work and apply it instantly.
It's a wonderful feeling - knowing that you did your best on an audition. Whether or not you get this part, you know that you made a strong impression with the casting director. You know they will call you in again for another role.
