Here are some do's and don'ts to keep in mind when preparing for the singing portion of your upcoming audition.
For many actors, one of the most stressful moments of the musical audition is having to sing.

Here is some advice that should not only help you keep from embarrassing yourself but hopefully land the part.

[Springs Actors Forum] Daddy's Day 2002

 

I was an extra in the short. The film was fantastic for a short, short. It filmed in no time, a few takes and we were done. As far as photos go, there wasn't any time to shoot photos. It wrapped in a very short time. Just a few angles and scenes.
Are you looking for images and footage of a certain actor?

Actor/Director Dialogue – How to Discern Someone's Style of Speaking by Sean Pratt

Understanding the director's speaking style, as well as your own, will go a long way to helping you effectively communicate with each other.

Perhaps this has happened to you. You've just finished performing your scene and have gone to the director to get your notes. She says, "Wonderful. Let's do it again but this time infuse the scene with the color blue." And you're thinking to yourself, "Is the director crazy? What does that mean?!" Nothing can be more problematic to the success of a project than when the director cannot clearly communicate with an actor and vice versa. Essentially, it boils down to the way each of them speaks and listens. And when it comes to talking, while you can't change the director's way of conveying her/his ideas to you, you can endeavor to understand what kind of style it is and adjust your responses accordingly.

Actor's Advertising Campaigns – When to Stay in Touch and When to Bang Your Drum by Sean Pratt

In order to help advance their careers, actors must learn how to use the two basic methods of publicity.

In the world of marketing, there are two distinct kinds of advertising campaigns – an "Ongoing Campaign" and a "Promotional Campaign." These two kinds of campaigns work hand in hand to create a sense of recognition and momentum for a business (or an actor) which, in turn, can create opportunities for them to succeed. But knowing each one's form and function is crucial to getting the results you want.
