Commercial Audition Tips
It’s important to remember that a commercial audition differs from other acting auditions. While you may be used to preparing for stage or film auditions, commercial audition preparation requires a different approach. Here are some tips on how to prepare for your next commercial audition:
- Read the script carefully and thoroughly. Make sure you understand the scene’s context and what it is trying to convey. Take note of any specific instructions you are given, such as character traits or emotions that need to be obtained during the scene.
- Practice your lines multiple times until they become second nature. Rehearse with friends and family members who can also give you feedback on your performance!
- Bring a positive attitude to the audition. Remember that you are there to showcase your talent and be your best self! Be confident and smile throughout the audition, making you stand out from other actors.
- Stay moderate with your performance. Keep it simple and natural – don’t try to overact or underact for the role. The casting directors are looking for someone who can stay in character while still being themselves.
- After your audition, follow up with a thank-you note or email thanking the casting director for their time and consideration. This shows that you respect their work and appreciate the opportunity to audition for them, which could help you get future auditions.
