When I auditioned for '21 Jump Street,' it was a last minute thing. I had one of the worst flus that I've ever experienced in my life, and I was forced to go to the audition, the screen test.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As I got older, I auditioned for drama school and shocked myself by getting in.
I auditioned for Robert Redford once and I was so starstruck I couldn't even speak. I had a mic wire at a screen test clipped to me and then I got kind of nervous and I paced in a circle and then took a step and tripped and fell on my face. You just have to forgive yourself and keep going on.
My first audition was the worst I have ever done, ever.
I was just terrified in front of the camera. I couldn't even say my own name. I walked out of a handful of auditions. I mean, ran out in cold sweats. I was just so nervous and insecure.
My first film, 'Vanishing on 7th Street,' I really just kinda went in for it. Just gave it my all at the auditions.
I was really awful at auditions. There's something about sitting down and saying into the camera: 'I'm Nina and this is the name of my agent.' That makes me just die inside.
There wasn't very much going on in London about five years ago, and I just took a ticket on spec and went to Los Angeles. I think it was in my second week that I auditioned for 'Battlestar.'
Even before I auditioned for 'X Factor' the second time, I was doing a lot of dance music.
I auditioned for 'Pitch Perfect,' and I had to sing. It was terrible.
I'd auditioned for the National Youth Theatre and I didn't get a place and it was terrifying.
