What to expect at an audition??

Question

a little details, i was at a concert and a scout from a modeling and talent agency saw me, and i signed up for something to win whatever their drawing was for...anyhoo, i got a call a week later telling me they wanted me to come in for an audition...well im not to keen on the modeling, for one im not tall enough (5'5'') and two, my belly isnt as flat as i'd like it. but i figure maybe for acting. but im not sure what to expect, what to bring..they really didnt tell me when i made the appt. any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

What's the name of the agency?  Have you done any research on them?  You should investigate to find out how genuine they are, what they're offering you, and whether other young performers who've dealt with them in the past have good or bad things to say about them.  (The fact that they didn't give you any tips on preparing for the audition is not a good sign.)

Answer 2

bring a picture from your shoulders up and make a resume to show what experience you have (if none, then that's OK, just do a template). Get a 1-1.5 minute monologue to read there and PLEASE have it memorized, as they may or may not have material for you. It's about a 20 minute ordeal where you wait for 15 min, call you in, you read their script (or your monologue) 3 times and you're out of there. Not sure about modeling though. Don't over think your reads. Wear a solid shirt with no logos or patters, as they'll probably be filming you and that stuff looks terrible on camera. Just relax and let the words come out of you, don't think about how it sounds, and don't worry about s******g up. if you flub a line, guess what? They don't care. Just start over and you'll be fine.

Relax and be natural. Good Luck!

Do you ever watch Fashion TV Channel ?  The girls usually have a portfolio album of themselves (a variety of photos) and you are made to walk.

Friends in the industry encounter a lot of rejection (you don't know for sure what particular look they are after) - don't take it personally but move on.
