Auditions remain a constant requirement in an actor's life, whether beginner or seasoned professional, and the attendant nerves and pressure to succeed in an intensely competitive industry is something that all actors need to learn to negotiate. This guide is aimed at those wishing to undertake in-depth training to develop the physical, vocal, imaginative and emotional skills necessary for a varied career in stage or screen. Offering practical advice, it takes readers through the audition process to the moment of acceptance at a drama school. The second section looks at first steps into the profession and how to prepare confidently for auditions and meetings, whether live or by self-tape, so that actors can meet the professional environment with confident ownership of their skills. Topics covered include: choosing your school; selecting audition material and preparing it; an analysis of a contemporary and a classical speech; the audition cycle and self-taping for video auditions. It also features practical and honest insights from casting directors, industry professionals and recent graduates, as well as up-to-date guidance for online auditions.
