Audition Quotes

It was a total accident that I walked into my ‘Super 8’ audition looking exactly right for the part Picture Quote #1

The first feature film I did, when I did ‘Night Shift,’ I improvised quite a bit because I would improvise at the audition, so sometimes I would return to the original lines, and then when I was on set, I would improvise even more Picture Quote #1

Acting is so much about waiting... waiting for an audition, waiting for the right part to come along. It’s nice to write your own thing, write about what you’re feeling and then go out and perform them. It’s a nice thing to have and not get bored Picture Quote #1

I still audition a lot and work really hard to get work. So I don’t really walk around feeling like I’ve made it. My short term goals are really just to be creatively stimulated and to be excited about material I might be working on Picture Quote #1

When you do well at an audition, it is the highest high you can achieve because you just beat yourself. You became whatever it was, for a minute. It’s a great feeling when that happens Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I’ll read an audition and I’ll get a very strong first impression about who the person is, and I usually go with it Picture Quote #1

Sister Act’ was my first audition out of school. I was 21 and cast as the understudy. It was non-Equity, so I lived in L.A. on $300 a week. I did that for a month and then came to New York to do a couple of gigs, including ‘Hair’ in the park, before going to London with ‘Sister Act,’ where I played the lead Picture Quote #1

Never give up. Just follow your dreams because this business can be so hard sometimes. It doesn’t happen overnight where you get an audition or even a callback and get the role. It takes time Picture Quote #1

I got into theatre kinda late by some standards, and I sorta fell into it. I had broken my ankle playing football, and my high school was doing a production of ‘Barnum.’ I could juggle, and my mom really wanted to get me out of the house. She said since I wasn’t playing football and couldn’t wrestle, maybe I should audition for the show Picture Quote #1

I don’t think auditioning will ever faze me again after the ‘Grease’ TV experience. It was fierce. There were thousands of people auditioning in four cities. I flew from home in Minneapolis to audition in L.A. I waited in line all day. I arrived at 7 A.M. and wasn’t seen until 6 P.M Picture Quote #1

I went to public school my whole life, graduated high school with my class. Growing up, I’d go to an audition, my friends would go to soccer practice and we’d all reconvene and hang out in our neighborhood. When I would book something, I would never tell my friends. Acting was just fun. I was a kid, I wasn’t jaded Picture Quote #1

My first audition happened to be for ‘Kindergarten Cop,’ and I took that role. I was only starting to learn English at that point. Spanish is my first language, so they made me a speaking character in the movie. I didn’t really know I was shooting a movie. I was just having a lot of fun with 30 kids my own age Picture Quote #1

What’s funny is my mom took me to the theater for the first time when I was six years old, and I was just amazed by it. I just said, ‘Hey Mom, can I do this too?’ And so she signed me up for little theater classes, and I remember my first audition for a play when I was seven years old was for ‘The Thankful Elf.’ Picture Quote #1

I did this one scene in an episode of ‘General Hospital’, and that was my first job down in L.A. It was, like, my second audition, and I was like, ‘Woo! This is easy! This is fun!’ That was a really cool moment for me Picture Quote #1

If I had any advice to give people, it would be to relax; never treat an audition like an emergency. There will be plenty more in your career. If you think you messed up, you probably didn’t. And if you did mess up, it’s not the end of the world Picture Quote #1

You could give the best audition ever and not get the role or not get a callback because you just weren’t what they were looking for Picture Quote #1

I think especially older people, and I count myself one, in the business - people get to know who you really are. So there comes a time when you can’t just go in and audition without everybody knowing exactly how you’ve brought up your kids, what you said at the meeting, what kind of food you cook Picture Quote #1

I like to audition for good projects because if it’s a good project, it’s an opportunity to get in front of a casting director Picture Quote #1

I know what it’s like to audition, so it’s important that everybody who auditions, even if I know right off they’re not right for it, has a good experience. So I’ll never just have someone do one pass at it and say Thank you Picture Quote #1

I knew I wanted to be an actress, but I hadn’t ever really told anyone. I’d always got quite good grades, so people assumed I would go and do a ‘normal’ job. My dad took me to my first audition for drama school and picked me up without anyone knowing, really Picture Quote #1

It’s stressful to keep doing audition after audition after audition. You finish one and go to the next one, and you have to learn lines. For me, I have to work on my accent, so I was getting accent coaching and acting coaching. I wanted to make good impressions Picture Quote #1

Years ago, I did a CBS audition. I was nervous. They introduced me as ‘Scott Bakoola.’ Not a good sign. I also didn’t get the show Picture Quote #1

I knew you had to go in and audition and maybe they’d hire you, and that’s where you start. I had a good understanding about press: that it’s the actor’s responsibility to publicize his or her films Picture Quote #1

I’m good at cold reading; I’ve made a living doing this, and most of the time I do audition, but it’s very tough. It’s a very uncomfortable, awkward process. You never get used to it, really Picture Quote #1

I had a great career in Australia, so it was a hard decision to move to America. But in 2010, I was asked to audition for the part Melissa McCarthy ended up playing in ‘Bridesmaids.’ Picture Quote #1

I’ve actually been given a great gift. When I walk into an audition with a director, I’m carrying no baggage. They haven’t seen me in anything, even though I’ve done nine films Picture Quote #1

When you’re trying to look pretty, it’s a lot easier to compare you to other people. I always felt intimidated in pilot season trying to audition for ‘the girlfriend.’ Whereas when it’s like, ‘you’re auditioning for the part of this meth addict, trailer park whatever,’ it’s like, ‘Great!’ Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, I did my first audition at ‘Eurovision.’ I was about 17. After my first audition, I blacked out; I was just like, ‘I can’t do this.’ I’m not knocking it or anything - it’s been around for years. I’m just very, very happy I made that decision myself. I think that’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made Picture Quote #1

I took theatre and stuff in college, then I took a bunch of different acting classes here in L.A. Sometimes when I have a hard audition, I’ll call my acting coach and he’ll come help me. I actually get more nervous in acting class than I do at an actual audition. It’s actually a really great way to get over your nerves Picture Quote #1

The reality of our business is that for every actor who’s rolled up his tent and given up and gone home, the next day you hear about some shoe salesman at Macy’s who had this audition and now he’s Harrison Ford. There’s always that carrot out there in our business Picture Quote #1
