Audition Tips for Athlete Commercial
When auditioning for an athlete commercial, it’s important to be able to show a range of emotions. The athletes that we see on TV are typically very passionate about their sport, and they need to be able to convey that same passion in their commercials.
One tip that can help you tap into your emotional range is to think about a time when you were really proud of your performance in a game or match. What did it feel like at that moment? How can you channel that feeling into your audition?
It’s also important to be able to show enthusiasm and energy in your audition. This commercial is likely for a product that the athlete uses, so they need to be able to convincingly sell the viewer on why this product is so great.
Finally, be sure to connect with the casting director and/or client. They need to see that you’re personable and likable, as that’s a key component of any good commercial.
