How to prepare for your next audition : Simple strategies that lead to successful performing - by Jackie Oliver, Adam Sweeney
For performers, auditions are a fact of life. Almost everyone, regardless of age or experience, is nervous about auditioning but believe it or not, that nervousness can be a positive thing, giving your performance a passion and focus that perhaps might not be there otherwise. Yes, that’s right, a feeling of having butterflies in your tummy, that fear of forgetting your lines and not only embarrassing yourself but being rejected is absolutely normal and is not a sign that you’re going to be terrible at your next audition.
Many experienced performers learn over time, to not necessarily overcome, but certainly to work with these problems by using psychological techniques and breathing exercises to slow down their heart rate, focus their concentration and make the most of their audition.
Nowadays, with the increased popularity of talent shows, there is more pressure on teenagers and young adults to be able to deliver polished performances without the luxury of experience. To make matters worse, some of the judges on programmes such as these are encouraged to be as critical as possible, to make for good TV viewing.
If you are affected by nervousness or stage fright then this book will help you prepare fully for any audition and will teach you techniques from experienced professionals that you can use to make sure you give the best performance possible.
