Most of Seattle auditions are located in the downtown area and are well
within walking distance of one another; so getting to your destination once
you're in the city should be fairly easy. Since Seattle is an upward metropolis,
its acting scene is growing yearly, so it's important to first figure out
what kind of audition you're looking for. Here are some helpful hints when
heading out for Seattle auditions. Most of these rules apply for any audition
you will attend.
· Arrive at least 15 minutes early. You don't
want to have to rush into your audition.
· Pack your bag with a book
in case there is waiting and a bottle of water. Not every place has a water
fountain.
· Be nice to everybody. You never know if the person you are
speaking to is important.
· There may be several people waiting with
you to audition; don't be intimidated because everyone is a bit nervous.
· Definitely do not ask if you will be called back. The casting director
will call you at a later date if necessary.
When you have finished your audition, don't wait for applause or critique.
All you will hear is "thank you" from the casting director. It is their
job to be objective during an audition. Just say thank you to everyone in
the room and exit quickly and quietly. Wait a few minute to leave incase
they want to see you again. Then sign out, this lets them know for sure
that you have left. Exit with courtesy and be proud that you have made it
through another audition.
If you had fun and auditioned well, a casting director may call you back
to read again, or perhaps give you another part. The audition can open many
doors and hopefully find you jobs that will give you the experience needed
to join the unions like SAG (Screen Actors Guild) or AFTRA (American Federation
of Television and Radio Arts.)
