When you get to the point where you know the material so well and you know the character so well that you can just sort of play off of whoever your reader is - that's the best feeling at an audition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes I'll read an audition and I'll get a very strong first impression about who the person is, and I usually go with it.
The good thing about auditioning is that you get to test yourself and see if you can play this character - you're also auditioning yourself.
I actually love auditioning because I usually don't get the part. I've tested with Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Tom Cruise. So I've gotten to that point, and I understand when I don't get it. There are a lot of very talented people out there.
The audition process is always grueling. You always hope to just get offered things, and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.
Whenever you go into an audition, you have to be as prepared as possible.
I really do not like auditioning... it's hard because you never know what you're going to walk into in a room.
Many's the audition I waltzed into unprepared and wondered why I didn't get it. I learned the hard way.
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.
I've gotten a lot more comfortable with the audition process, but there's something that really turned me off initially when I was younger, to auditioning. The idea that I couldn't get to the person that was actually making the film really frustrated me.
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.
