Ryan Williams, a casting director and actor, shares concrete audition tactics with Aaron Marcus: how to prep sides, where to look during the read, what to do in the waiting room, and how to follow up after. Acting skill alone won't get you the role.
Hi, I'm Aaron Marcus, and after working in this industry for more than 30 years and booking over 1,200 jobs, I'll tell you something that I've learned is that being a great actor doesn't make you a great auditioner. And there are some very specific things that you need to do if you want to give yourself your best chance to book the job. So I thought the best way to help share this information with others is to interview Ryan Williams. This guy's incredible. Not only does he have an acting background, he also did casting. He also is a director of feature films, music videos, commercials. He's worked with Brad Pitt, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jodie Foster, just to name a few people. And he talks about in this interview, uh, things that you can do to impress the casting director. What do you do when you first get your sides? What should you be doing when you're sitting in the waiting area before you go into the casting director's office. Where do you place your eyeline during the audition? What 3 things that you should do and never do at an audition? What do you do after the audition? It's just this incredible wealth of information that will help you give yourself your best chance to book the job. So you can copy and paste the link below.
