A is for AUDITIONS - Face to Face Casting sessions
"You only get one chance to make a good first impression. Make it count" I would add to Johnny's excellent advice that you need to not only be choosy about the jobs you go for, but you also need to be ready and properly prepared. You'll save yourself a lot of heartache, stress, and feelings of rejection and doubt if you concentrate on always playing to your strengths and if don't waste your time in auditioning for jobs that don't really interest you or that you don't stand a cat in hell's chance of actually getting. Of course you want to stretch yourself, to take on new and challenging projects ... but an audition studio is not the place to try out something new or to experiment with new genres. Really it isn't! If you follow a lot of the online advice regarding acting, voice acting, auditions, success and applying for jobs, you might get the impression that all you need to do in order to gain success and recognition is just to want it enough. There is a lot of propaganda floating around that seems to imply that all you need to do in order to succeed is: A: A firm belief that you can do it B: To register for lots of coaching or classes C: Record a voice reel (often 'the carrot' offered free that pulls you in and encourages you to enrol on the course) D: To work really really hard, E: Do lots and lots of auditions and just keep on believing! No mention of talent or even an interest in a particular job - but I digress. I've divided this article into two sections - live face to face auditions first, then recorded auditions for voice overs. Back to auditions . . . firstly ... live, face to face casting and auditions. A is for Auditions - Face to Face CastingSTUFF YOU CAN'T CONTROL 'Practice for auditions - don't audition for practice!'

I've gleaned quite a lot of knowledge over the years, knowledge that might be of interest to others, especially authors, actors and voice actors. Because I read so much, for pleasure and professionally, I also occasionally write reviews of what I read - so they're here too.
