This was very helpful. I noticed some "how to" youtubers don't even give an example of what they're trying to teach, and she just incorperated in into her speach. Bravo!
The main character actor from "The King's Speech" was speaking slow and the guy from Social Network was talking dang fast, it depends if the character's suppose to talk fast or slow. Sometimes the character is suppose to act nervous too.
i don't think this applies to Scottish people, when i speak to foreigners i need to speak really posh and slow and they still struggle to understand me, and i'm considered "posh" where i'm from.
No shit tell me something I don't know. Getting flustered is something that can happen if your a complete idiot! lol but keeping it under control is not that hard. I find that soaking in a nice warm bath before any performance is key. Just let your muscles relax and your voice will be solid. :)
@moomoorat If you didn't realise this is her normal accent -- It's a californian accent which quite alot of americans have that accent of - Lol, if you look up this acting auditions and you have no Idea where the USA is -- Lol don't get your hopes up because you're a fucking idiot and will obviously never make it far.
@hyt243 no sorry your've miss understood me. I ment that I'm from New Zealand and if I was going to go to an audition then should I speak in my normal accent =P

I purchased a copy of Lori's book THE ORGANIC ACTOR and it's a great book to have. She covers many audition topics like wardrobe, script analysis, resume, dealing with agents.etc
I highly recommend every actor gets a copy of her book.
Speak at your normal speed -- maybe. For many of us that's already too fast. Slow it down enough so the audience can understand each sentence, and watch for places where a beat would make it more meaningful.

I disagree, If the character is nervous then yes you can studder or rush. Only if the scene requires it.

You don´t have to rush if you are going to be a nervous character.
Work with your body-language instead! It will look much more realistic!

can you rush if your supposed to be nervous for the side
