Acting Agencies NYC
While your agent secures auditions across the country, including New York, arriving early is key to feeling prepared. The casting team will likely have your headshot and resume on file from your agent, but to make a strong impression, bring two copies of each for yourself. This way, they have a physical copy to jot down notes on during your audition.
Prior to your audition, solidify your understanding of the scene (script excerpt) provided by your agent. Bringing the script itself to the audition is a big faux pas — avoid it altogether!
In the rare instance where you receive a script copy at the audition, take a few moments to memorize the opening and closing lines. This not only keeps you calm but allows the casting director a clear view of your face during the crucial start and finish of your performance.
Don't let others relying on scripts during auditions faze you. The casting director has a specific vision for the role, and you've already demonstrated your potential to embody it. Shine brightly and make the most of every audition opportunity.
