Instructions
1. If you are asked to prepare a monologue, practice the one you already know or choose a new monologue if needed. Practice alone and in front of a friend.
2. If you are given sides, a scene from the project, break them down and make choices about the character you're playing and who the person or other people in the scene are to you. Find ways to relate to the material.
3. Once you have done your work, memorize, memorize, memorize. You will look and be so much more prepared when you know the material like the back of your hand. Casting directors will appreciate it.
4. Stage a fake audition. Have a friend act like the casting director. Walk out of the room and have your friend sit down. Walk back into the room and greet the casting director (your friend). Have your friend say let me know you're ready. When you're ready, let the casting director know. Then, start the scene if your character speaks first.
