Auditions

For the 1999 film directed by Mike Takashi, see Audition (1999 film) An audition is a sample performance by an actor, singer, musician, dancer or other performer. It typically involves the performer displaying their talent through a previously memorized and rehearsed solo piece or by performing a work or piece given to the performer at the audition or shortly before. In some cases, such as with a model or acrobat, the individual may be asked to demonstrate a range of professional skills. The audition is a systematic process in which industry professionals select performers, which is in some ways analogous to a job interview in the regular job market. Quotes I didn't have a problem with rejection, because when you go into an audition, you're rejected already. There are hundreds of other actors. You're behind the eight ball when you go in there. Robert De Niro, What I've Learned Esquire, January 2003. At the audition, your assignment is to find something new in the song. Something you've never noticed before. A breath carried over, a thought that ties the whole thing together. Then take the risk and do it. Pete Seeger, How Can I Keep from Singing: Pete Seeger (1981) External links audition Category:Art
