Audition Ettiquette
Mon, 26 Nov 2007, 10:16 pmHey there!
Just wondering on the etiquette on auditions. Should you audition for everything, even if you can't commit to both (i.e Best case scenario, you get offered both and they film around about the same time...)
Do you only go for the one you're most interested in? and then kick yourself when you don't get it and wished you'd gone for the other one?
And also, if you do go for both (and get offered both) Is there a polite way to turn down one of the roles?
Much advice needed, all appreciated!
Thanks
I think it's ok to audition
Tue, 27 Nov 2007, 09:47 amI think it's ok to audition for a couple of different roles (but not more than a couple); but only if you make it clear to the director of each show that you are doing so. I think everyone realises that it's tough out there, and that people aren't expecting to get every role they audition for.
Having said that, I would only advise doing the above if there are a number of roles you desperately want. Otherwise, it's a waste of everyone's time.
To be honest, the best indication of a good performer to a director is their willingness to commit entirely to the performance, and their preparedness at an audition. So the above should only be done if in desperation.
