Naked Auditions
Wed, 2 Sept 2009, 05:13 pmIs is ever acceptable to be asked to audition nude?
Had a weird experience last weekend at an audition and not sure if I over-reacted. There is a bedroom scene in the play apparently - was unaware at the time.
Has anyone else had to before for amateur theatre?
I'm not sure of the opinion
Thu, 3 Sept 2009, 02:42 amI'm not sure of the opinion of the law on this matter but I would never ask an actor to get nude in an audition.
The actor should by all rights be informed of the prospect when they are auditioned and of course sounded out about it.
Actually I would be interested to hear what Equity has to say about this...
It could be argued that if the actor is comfortable with getting naked during the audition then it shows the actor will do it and not just say they will to get the role. However, there are many ways of dealing with this situation that don't involve getting the actor naked in auditions.
