Audition Tips
- Memorize your piece, and time yourself performing it. 65 seconds is fine; two minutes is too long and you may be cut off.
- Read the play that it’s from. Understand how it fits into the larger story and the character’s journey.
- Figure out who you’re talking to and what you want from them – even if it’s just the audience, yourself or some abstract details.
- No accents, please. Use your natural voice.
