I feel like every time I walk into the audition room, they can tell if you're faking it and if your heart's really not with it. So I try to keep it as real as possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wish I knew that when I go in for an audition and I don't get the part, it actually doesn't have to do with me on a personal level.
There are several times when I walked into a room and just felt like such a sham. That's the problem with auditioning.
The audition process is always grueling. You always hope to just get offered things, and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.
When you go to an audition, don't hang on to it because no matter how well you feel it went or how badly, you just never know what the outcome is going to be.
I really do not like auditioning... it's hard because you never know what you're going to walk into in a room.
I think our sense as actors of what we've just done - whether or not it be in an audition - is usually really not connected to any truth. I'm always asking for more takes and more goes. I think I just need to shut up and listen.
Sometimes you walk out of an audition and you kind of know you nailed it and you're probably going to book it, but you very rarely are told in the room by the people who are hiring you.
Every audition, I walk out the door and throw the sides away immediately. You did it, now go home. And to me, that's kind of a baptism. If they call you, they call you. And if they don't, it's fine.
Just go and keep auditioning and keep trying and keep believing things will turn around, and it always does.
I don't believe in auditioning. I'm a bad auditioner. I don't like it.
