Summary of Michael Shurtleff's Audition - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The two questions that should be asked at a reading are: Am I in the light. And can I be heard. The auditors will always be happy to tell you where the light is, since it's a lot easier for them to see you than search for you in darkness. #2 The two legitimate questions an actor may ask at an audition are: If you are asked to read cold, should you have time to go offstage to look at the script.
And if you are asked to read cold without having seen the script in advance, always ask if you might have time to go offstage to look it over. #3 When you are called in to read for a part, you should give it your all. No matter how many times you have to read for the same part, you should never refuse to come in and read for a role. #4 If the auditors want you to know who they are, they will introduce themselves.
However, you should never know whom you're auditioning for, as it will only make you more nervous.
