​Everyone knows ‘FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT and boy is that true. 

Whether you are fresh to the industry or preparing yourself for your next audition, we all have one thing in common,
​we all want to make the Right Impression! I
n this industry the audition is the prime time to make that initial impression. We want to give you some key tips to make sure that you bring the BEST YOU to the casting room. 
​

No one is perfect and being nervous is natural, but you can use that to help you prepare more effectively!

​Here are a few tips to help you BE THE BEST YOU!

FACE - EYES, MOUTH and EARS…
Make eye contact with everyone you meet, in and around your audition environment. This, for one, projects confidence, professionalism and maturity and  also helps you remember faces… very important faces. 

Smile, simply because smiles are contagious and they are lovely to look at. Everyone likes a smile.

"The biggest communication problem is we don’t listen to understand.
We listen to reply."

“Ears…?!?!” I hear you say. Ears are for listening and listening is vital when you first meet someone.
Listen for names (and remembering it).
Listen for instruction and direction to show focus and adaptability.
Listen to feedback and be prepared to progress from it.

CONFIDENCE
Be confident in being you. Know who you are as a person as well as a performer and know what you are capable of. 
BE YOURSELF, BRING YOUR INDIVIDUALITY, BRING YOUR PERSONALITY.
This makes it more interesting and memorable during the audition process.
It will also take the edge off if you stay real to who you are.
You never know what a casting director is looking for, whether that is in the present or for future projects.
​They will like you for being you… and therefore they will remember YOU. 

Be confident and BE HUMBLE 

THE 3 P’s
 BE PUNCTUAL… never just ‘on time’. 
BE PREPARED - and remain focused on what is happening at that very second.
BE PRESENT- It is very easy to tell if your mind isn’t present and this can effect your experience.
Blink and the audition is over… so fully commit to each second of the process.
 Don’t anticipate what is about to happen in the room.
Go with the flow and be prepared for anything!

BE POLITE
Manors are free!
A ‘thank you’ can go a long way and it shows your gratitude for the opportunity to be in the room.
ALWAYS be polite to everyone you meet.
You never know who knows who and ‘word of mouth' is a powerful tool in this industry.
It is the little things that leave a lasting impression. 

PRACTICE 
No body is perfect,  but you have POTENTIAL and that is why you are asked to auditions. Always remember ...
POTENTIAL COMES FROM THE WORK YOU PUT INTO YOUR DREAMS! 
 If you put the time in to dig deep and learn your craft you should feel prepared.
Being prepared will help you feel less nervous and you’ll be more PRESENT … you see, it all links together.
