Casting Calls - What To Do
A casting call has come your way, and you finally get your first chance.
Or maybe it's another chance to get that role or get that part and say goodbye to the life of wishing and wanting to be an actor.
This next opportunity could be the moment that changes your life forever.
You can already start to imagine what you will say to those friends at school or family members that thought you would never make it.
Does some of this sound familiar? Well if so, be aware.
It can be a double edged sword.
Yes, having a drive and a passion is a good thing because it can make you take risks.
Having drive challenges you and leads to new doors opening.
So imagining a better future and believing in your dream is a most necessary step to success.
But the other edge of this sword is if your mind is all wrapped up in the "what will happen when I get the role" you have forgotten the most important part...
"Getting the role first".
Your audition can be very important for you in achieving your goals.
Also you are putting more pressure on yourself than is necessary, this is the first tip in auditions.
Be completely present with the audition, not what may happen if you get it or when you get it.
The audition is your chance to be an actor.
It may just be for one person and a camera who is seeing multiple people do the same thing, but this casting call is your chance to act, so enjoy it.
Fall in love with the moment.
Just by changing the way you look at a casting call can make you come across more relaxed during your audition.
Changing your casting call from being something you have to succeed at to something that is a chance for you to act and show what you've got.
This will lead to a more desired outcome at your casting call.
Being desperate to get the role is good to drive you to get to the casting call, but does not serve you once you are there.
Another really great tip is for you to arrive on time at your casting.
Better yet, be at least 30 minutes early! If you happen to get there more than 30 minutes early, don't go in yet.
Seeing everyone else at the audition can get you more nervous.
Go take a walk and get your head around your audition.
Get your brain clear, and this should really help you at your casting call.
Then, go in 30 minutes early.
