It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not so bothered by the audition process anymore; in fact, I use it. It's a time for the actor to actually get to the know the director and the producers a little bit, too.
A little secret about actors is that we never think we do a great job in auditions. We kind of just go in and do our work and leave sort of hoping for the best. It's an interesting dynamic - acting is such an interesting job. You never quite know how well you do.
Auditioning is extremely bizarre. Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
But so much of being an actor isn't so great - the auditioning, the rejection, the financial insecurity.
I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
Acting takes a lot of practice, but so does auditioning.
I think there are a lot of other actors that are just talented, it's just about this opportunity - it's just about when are we going to be put in those positions where we can shine.
When actors first come up, you're auditioning for everything - you're trying to sniff it out like a pig with a truffle and you would do anything!
You have to keep persevering. An actor goes to a lot of auditions and doesn't get the part.
I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.
