How to Prepare for Acting Auditions : How to Read a Script for Acting Auditions

[elementskater331]

wtf?

[purplemonkeys97]

how do u get the script??

[RedBritGirl]

For my audition, they haven't given me a script to memorise. Will I be reading at all???

[herrveidt]

This is a really good example of bad acting...you see when the phone goes off these two were anticipating it! if it had "really" been a mistake the human behavior would have been way different...you see kids you can learn from even bad examples!

[mcswainj]

lol everybody was right...this was a waste of time

[TheLandizzle808]

this is a JOKE

[Casspep99]

this wasnt very helpful

[wwwBixxTk]

I know which agency I am not going to ask if I wanna be an actor :D

[marquise3817]

what was this? you have no infliction in your voices.

you sounded bored, and made me bored.

[capelkid704]

I found this helpful. I'm really looking forward to becoming an actor and going to these auditions can be excited but well trained.

[karencox16]

Really? This sucks !!

[nowsuperman]

w t f

[CryingOverSpiltMilk]

lmao. fail

[kaymjfan101]

Why are you guys acting like you are zombies? bring more life into it -__-

[crazyblueunicorn]

well, this was really insightful..........jk

[sethhendrix]

Dear person that runs expertvillage.... PLEASE stop making videos!!! Your videos suck so hard, I don't even know where to begin. It's like a really amateur, horrible excuse for a home movie. And where the HELL did you get this ignorant moron who's trying to give out "acting audition" advice?! Did you just pick her up off the street? Seriously... punch yourself in the testicles... and then stop making videos. Thank you.

[Frantzu]

lmao! omg fail!

[Q2IN2Y]

terrible example of acting

[01121993]

what emotion?? the dialog is normal.. two people having a  normal conversation!

what you want? screams?

[PeaceForFloop]

The dialog makes someone bored. it does not look realistic the person is trying to say. And they arent cold reading. But i think this video was to just get across the point that you shouldnt have you cell phones on. I highly doubt they are trying to act

[LexyAAA]

Where's the emotion?  Good god, bad advice.

[imriey]

my son is 2 and he wants to be an actor/model he told me so. what do I do..jk

[ClayKayMNK]

Good thing I didn't subscribe. This did NOT help me. At all!

[1000abercrombie]

look this did not help me but keep trying

[Ancientlordx]

wow, the cell phone ringing thing was so fake....

[cwbrl3]

@Ancientlordx of course it was fake their demonstrating it for you when and if you you go to an audition to turn your phone off.

[07anth]

[girlsatmeadows]

omigoshhhhhhhhhhhh is it semi-ironic how utterly awful the acting is on this? why yes yes it is.

[xXxLOLIPOPxXx1]

what if your going to an audition saturday n u dont gaot da script??

[Debobasket101]

i am too and dont have a script

[evethesensei11]

come prepared, If the script is given at the audition usually you will have a few minutes to prepare and when you are ready, don't worry, just have fun with it, you usually won't have to memorize at these auditions you will have the script handy. Also don't stress it. They are looking for creativity and for you to have fun with it!

[theSiNgIngNOTES]

which one was supposed to be the flat reader?

[sadie12roxs]

good tips on the cell hpones and the recording

[TheDeion789]

l-o-l loym

[vesperlovett]

lol?

[scareolyn]

LOL, Which one was supposed to be reading flat?

[creten69]

Id answer and go hey Al waz up?and hold a finger to fatso

[parusaca]

Thats funny shit.

[truetierran]

I'm taking acting classes right now, and the casting director of High School Musical and a ton of other movies told us our teacher knows what he is teaching and we should listen to him. This lady is DEFINATELY not teaching what our teacher taught us!!!

[128saz]

i got an audition on thursday nd it's my 1st nd i only get the script wen i'm there nd i need glasses to see the script from that much of a distance but the part would be better without glasses wat do i do ??

[AndersHansen1988]

You rehearse the part with glasses on so you can read the text, and then you learn your lines and perform without glasses - since u wont need em cous u've got the text memorized. They wont care that u used glasses during preperation.

[LuckyGirl931]

wow i thought dorectors should now hot to act

[officialLindseyHull]

both of them SUCK!!! they SHOULD NOT give acting advice!!!!!!!!!

[TheNikkonish]

@officialLindseyHull in case you haven't noticed "expert" village doesn't contain any quality experts on anything ;)...seriously go watch the guy who is supposedly a flight instructor, he doesn't even get the names of some of the instruments and switches in the plane correct.

[ttsupraman1]

should of improvised, "hold on my girl is calling me" lol

[broadwayactor12]

This doesn't really help young actors.

[famous1779]

@broadwayactor12 it helps me and i'm only 14

[iHasModsHD]

@broadwayactor12 im 13 and i auditioned and now im in a good known movie :) not telling!

[ZooHabitat]

@iHasModsHD At least Message me when the movie comes out and what character you are!

[mirrorspeak]

Wow! What a totally lame series. This lady shouldn't be giving advice to actors but to extras. Cats casting? Did I get that right. On what films has she cast and what names has she cast? It's obvious to me that she knows nothing about acting.

[Kandiez5]

that guys a good actor because if he really wuz auditioning and not showin us an exzample he probably would be put put by the time he reads the first line this really help me thanxz

[pastpanda]

It doesn't explain how to read a script... =/

[meliiandlilii]

thanx for that i think i can do this now by seeing these vids

[charliiebabiie]

When your reading do you have to have the voice sound liek the character, do you have to empize anything? or do they just want to see if you stuter or figit while your presenting your lines?

[Magstar64]

These video how-to's are great! I'm coming off of a long hiatus so they are great refreshers. Please see my videos "Will Cook for Shoes" and comment. Thanks! xoxo

[deppitup]

make sure cellphone is off lol

[12whereswaldo21]

It should be alittle bit longer and more information but other than that it is still useful information for sure for sure

[resentment09]

OMG!!!! Thats my ring tone! Dang man that happens to me alll the time when im in class! I have to remember to turn that sucker off at my auditions!!

[OMGItsTotallyKyrsten]

that poor kid just wants to leave

[danakaminski]

sorry, but on-camera auditions are not even shot this way--they never have the casting director in the frame.

[bladebomb]

I have kind of been an actor all my life...when I was younger I used to run around my room acting out action scenes to movies I made up in my head. In grade 3 I was in Mary Poppins as Michael and then I kind of just loved it from then on out. I got an acting award of Merit for Best Developed Character at last year's drama festival but...I want to really get into something...how?

[randomperson023]

get an agent look for some online

[TaylorHosking]

hey i was wondering like how do you find an agent and contact them because my dream is to become an actor

[obrzutcr]

Find someone to represent you. You need representation for auditions. After you win auditions, then you get an agent. Agents make commission off you so they wont pick any joe shmo. They find you work, try to expose you; at the same time, you better win the auditions and make money for your agent so it continues lol

[babyphat233971127]

Well you can just look them up on the internet or phonebook. But mainly you can search different agencies thats near you google your city and look for diiferent agencies audition for that agency and if they want you they will find you jobs emdiatly but if they ask for money its a scam... good luck!

[Rachaelmomof3]

My son is interested in acting and modeling and he is only 4...do you have any advice for me? He is somewhat shy and I want to get him used to performing around other people besides his family. Thanks for your time:)

[valiantfocker]

Umm your son is interested in acting in modeling, or your forcing him to take interest.

[Rachaelmomof3]

My son has told me of his interest in acting, after we entered a post it notes contest where he sang a song I wrote. He told me, he wanted to do acting, then he said he wants to be the like the kids in the clothes adds, such as for wal mart and what not.yes I encourage him after he said that, but he approached me with this after our contest.

[rauooma]

wow , your trying to help your son to be who he wants to be .. i wish my dad do the same thng .. i want to be an actress and a singer .. but my dad dosent allowed me .. i'm hoples!! .. and i just wanna say please help your son cus i dont want him to feel the way i do!!

[tripoholic]

[Bahzad23]

[kristina010101]

haha you can tell that kid doesnt wanna be there. =]

[sonyafeed]

I have a bunch of videos on how to become a disney channel star

[TheNamelesssoul45]

Im a 16 year ols female and I really want to be an actor Im not that shy but I still need to work on expression's of the face and I wanted to know in audition's do you get a script or do you have to bring in a monologue when you first come see the casting director's.

[alisonx0x]

your agent should tell you if you have to bring something or not.

[CGpib]

yes and if i were you, go to some classes for a couple months, you can just walk in an audition being totally clueless..

[itsfomas]

Learn a monologue just in case, you never know maybe if you mention you have one ready they will gladly accept it, you should always have a monologue on stand by.

[clauditzzaaa]

woah ...i am from romania and my dream is to because a famous actrice like emma watson for ex. i am 16 years and when i will be 19 i wanna go to hollywood for an audition...but i wonder...what monologue it will have a very great succes ?

[PKechichian]

Hi Christina- what do suggest I use as a monologue for a short independent film? Should I "stick" with Shakespeare? Or should use something modern, if modern, what do you suggest? I am female. Thanks ;0) Thanks for your tips!

[Abby959]

That was helpful!

Yes, if your a kid you still need a resume.

[born2dancee]

[MandyxxMassacre]

[michelovando]

[xcheerluverx]

okay just so you know your not going to become famouse over night. It's going to take ALOT. But if acting is really your passion and thats your dream in life, then go for it :)

[456Josh]

You have to take classes, and practice and auditition for your school shows, than movie up to community theater and work your way.
