Tips on getting ready for your very first acting audition! by Chin Ping Tioh

Here are some tips to help you prepare for your first acting audition:

1. Do your study on the production before the audition to ensure that you are qualified for the part you are applying for. To give a more convincing portrayal, be aware of the character’s objectives, demeanour, and history.

2. Practise your lines: Memorise them and run them through several times. By doing this, you’ll get more at ease with the dialogue and sound more assured when you deliver it.

3. Inappropriate attire for the audition, wear proper attire. Think about putting on something casual yet appropriate. Make sure you have a polished appearance.

4. Be self-disciplined: Arrive early at the site of the audition. This will allow you some time to become accustomed to the surroundings and calm your nerves.

5. Bring any relevant materials: Bring your headshot and resume to the audition, among other things. Ensure that your headshot is updated and correctly captures your current appearance.

6. When it’s your moment to perform in the audition, remain focused and confidently execute your lines. Stay focused and avoid being sidetracked by other actors or the audition setting.

7. Take direction: Be ready to follow the producer’s or casting director’s instructions. Pay close attention to their advice and alter your performance as needed.

8. Remain upbeat: Keep in mind that going for an audition is a learning experience, and you can always use the opportunity to hone your talents for the next audition, even if you don’t get the part.
