Theater calls on different skills and makes different demands on the actor. The size, power and flexibility the actor needs to convey during an audition can be daunting to both the newcomer and the more experienced performer. Live theater auditions can be especially nerve-wracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe best way for an actor to combat nerves and make their best presentation is through preparation --- but the actor must know WHAT to prepare. Things like what to wear and proper protocol are just as important as the clarity and presence of your acting. Learning the structure of a good audition can help the actor immensely.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe preparation process is not easy but it is necessary and can be great fun. Since one minute of performance or audition requires an hour of rehearsal, the actor has a lot to do to be fully prepared for what is at most a seven or eight minute experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eStage 32 is excited to bring you “How to Master the Theater Audition” led by Alexander Carney Theater Director\/Coach, from New York, New York with over 30 years in the business.
