The Debate Over Acting Auditions And Memorizing Lines

By Kirk Baltz


The competition for acting auditions is nothing short of intense. Mastering key auditioning techniques can put you on the fast track to being a contender. Like the craft of acting, however, there are general principles not hard and fast rules. If an actor is taking his or her career seriously, he or she knows that they must dedicate their lives to improving their skills and techniques. However, there comes a time when an actor must decide what kind of actor he or she will be and which methods will be utilized to achieve this goal. Which method is the most important? Auditioning techniques that work. Regardless of your talent, you will never be able to show the world unless you have mastered these audition tips.

Talented acting is a work of art that must center around creativity and, of course, arduous training. Auditions are steps on the journey to success and true talent. It is, after all, an opportunity to practice the craft, which is what every good actor looks for. The following are some practical suggestions.

The auditors, usually directors, producers, casting directors (and sometimes, even the pizza delivery guy) are all there to assess how appropriate you are for the role. It is very easy for an actor to view these auditors as "enemies" and essentially shut down instead of working his or her best to be natural and at ease in their audition.

The fact of the matter is, however, that these individuals are the only potential allies you have. For the most part, they want the actors that are auditioning to succeed. After all, they need someone to be able to fill the role. Having to perform in front of a group of directors who do not seem to be interested in you as a potential actor can, of course, be very disconcerting. Just remember they have a lot a stake, just like you. Your responsibility is to make them pay attention to you by adopting the character in question and taking the personality to a height even they could not have imagined.

The goal of this paper is to help you to properly use the necessary audition techniques in a way that will help you to perform better and to obtain the role you want. Every actor worth his salt will face rejection at one point or another and what you need to learn is to put each audition failure into context so that you can move forward. You will also learn to become a better actor, one who is able to use important acting audition tips in order to improve each audition experience, better your overall skill set, and expand your contacts.

The most important auditioning technique will ensure that you will always produce a reading that is sure to turn heads. In an acting audition, remember to always strive to please yourself. Knowing that you did the best you could is essential when it comes to a successful audition. Each audition allows you to improve in your chosen vocation. Remember this and a successful audition will be yours.
