The Actor's Audition Guide

This step-by-step guide allows actors of all levels of experience a system to create professional auditions for film and television, where the actor is prepared mentally, emotionally, and physically. Actors who follow this system have seen their booking rates increase, and have also created new levels of confidence where they can audition for the kinds of roles they have always wanted to read for with conviction and consistency. This book offers several exercises and learn skills to transition the nervousness all of us feel into a welcomed transformation of excitement. By focusing on learning the story and not focusing exclusively on the words and actions only of your character, this structured approach to finding the organic final result also allows actors to learn their lines with greater ease, and be prepared to apply direction more readily and with greater confidence. The journey of a professional actor is often met with more rejection each year than most professions face in lifetime. The first section of this book offers motivation, community, and guidance on how to navigate these trying times and even embrace them as they help us grow stronger and more diverse in our abilities.
