By Kirk Baltz


There is no end to the number of aspiring actors competing for roles. Mastering key auditioning techniques can put you on the fast track to being a contender. Similar to craft itself, these techniques are not specific rules but more like governing guidelines. Every actor looking to make a serious career knows that he or she must study the craft and spend many hours, days, and years improving their skills. An actor must also select which type of actor they want to be and must manipulate their training to a certain extent in order to reach their specific goals. What is the most important of these methods? Stellar audition techniques, without a doubt. Without that, it doesn't matter how amazing you are, you won't get the opportunity to act.

Acting is, like painting, a true art form and the path towards success is paved with creativity and hard work. Approach each and every audition as another step on that journey. It is, after all, an opportunity to practice the craft, which is what every good actor looks for. And, just a few practical notes before we get started.

Everyone present at the audition, from the producer to the director, are there to determine whether you are an appropriate match 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. The success of their production depends upon someone being able to successfully 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. Keep in mind that they have their whole production on the line. 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.

In this report you will learn how to harness the emotions and energy of the auditioning process to read better. 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. Being happy with your own performance is the most important part of an acting audition. You must know that that each and every audition is your personal best. Each audition allows you to improve in your chosen vocation. Remember this and a successful audition will be yours.
