Play auditions

Theatre is that branch of the performing arts concerned with acting out stories in front of an audience using combinations of speech, gesture, music, dance, sound and spectacle. When actors audition for a theatre production, often they will perform monologues from plays other than the play they're auditioning for. Occasionally, the director of the production will ask an actor to prepare material from the show the will be performing in. To get more information on theatre auditions, go to Theatre Auditions. To improve as an actor, acting lessons are an important tool. Visit lessons to find out what training would be best for you. They involve one or more students (also called pupils) being taught by a teacher or instructor. Acting lessons may be either one section of a textbook (which, apart from the printed page, can also include multimedia) or, more frequently, a short period of time during which students are taught about a particular subject. Acting lessons may consist of exercises, cold readings or on-camera commercial techniques. Actor's auditions are a large part of any actors' career and will be for several years.

An actor may be called back multiple times during an acting audition for a certain role.
