Week 10-11 Feeling Lucky?

Over the past few weeks, you have been working to develop and/ or enhance your audition skills. You will now be called to use improvisation to help you access your tools to respond to the different demands and scenarios that you will face at auditions. Ask yourself, how much time to you dedicate each week to your craft? Are you reading periodicals about theater and performance? What opportunities have you created for yourself? Are you pleased with your tools? Identify a list of things you are confident about and things that you have to work on. Make a commitment to spend the next few weeks polishing your tools, setting small goals and putting an action plan into place to achieve what you want for yourself. Luck is when opportunity meets preparation? How lucky do you want to be?

Weeks 8-9 Casting Director Meetings and Call Backs

What do you prepare for a meeting with a casting director or director? What type of presentation of yourself have you developed that will leave a lasting impression? Do you have "something interesting" to say about yourself? Are you confident about your tools? Start to develop a working check list of the tools you have prepared for meetings. You should have this check-list prepared for every call you go on. Keep an audition notebook or digital file notes on your phone, this way, if you get called back to a casting director or director, you know just what you did to get you called back. This week, write what you feel you have prepared (and need to prepare) to feel confident about taking a meeting. Remember, each audition is a meeting with a potential employer. Be professional, energetic and easy to work with so that you can increase your odds of getting called back.
