About the audition
An acting audition pre-screen is a first conversation before a full audition or callback. The casting team learns about your training and recent roles, how you approach a character, how well you take direction and whether you can commit to the rehearsal schedule.
How to prepare
- Have a short summary of your training and your two or three most recent roles.
- Pick one character you have played and be ready to explain how you built them.
- Practise taking a note and adjusting a line reading on the spot.
- Check your availability against the rehearsal and shoot dates before the call.
Common mistakes
- Overstating your experience or listing roles you cannot talk about.
- Agreeing to every date and then pulling out later.
- Resisting direction or explaining why your first choice was right.
