Question
hi,I have a acting audition tomarrow, and i need to pass. My mom says a lot of people dont make on their first try. So how do I pass on my first try?

Answer
Hi Kaylee...And thanks for writing.  

Well, there are many factors in having a successful audition.  They range from your performance to your skill to what the director is looking for.  You might do a fantastic audition but the director may not be looking for your style or your ability or your look.  And there is nothing you can do about that.  

But the way to audition and do your best each time is to be really prepared.  If you have practiced your piece thoroughly, that will help.  If you are relaxed (breathing deeply before and during and after your audition) that will also help.  If you are wearing comfortable and modest clothing, that will help.  And if you smile and have a good attitude, that will also help.

I wish you a wonderful audition.  

Does this help?
