Hey, all —<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Several actors who attended recent “Audition Psych. 101” workshops have followed up with some quotes that support my approach. I thought you might find them encouraging:<\/div>\n

This one was sent in by Barbara Fisher:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Actor Julie Benz (Dexter)<\/i><\/span><\/strong>: \u201cI look at it as, it\u2019s literally your time to be an actor that day. And it\u2019s a performance; that\u2019s all it is. I don\u2019t look at it as a job; it\u2019s my time to play the part how I want to play it. And I throw my material away when I leave. You learn to love it.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2014From \u201c<\/span>Prime Time \u2013 Who\u2019s in the Running: Television Actors<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u201d by Jenelle Riley, Back<\/i> Stage<\/i>, 11\/18\/09<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n

——————————<\/div>\n
And this one came from Ron Salmons:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

Director Tom Robinson, director of, talking about actor Clayton Farris\u2019 audition for the<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>Glendale Theatre Center\u2019s Kiss Me Kate<\/i>: <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he came in the door of the audition room, he had a commanding presence. The other actors were a little timid, didn’t quite know what to expect, but Clayton had prepared himself. He seemed to be such a confident individual and just came in with such a good presence and a warm charisma that made it pretty evident that we needed to see him some more.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014From \u201cWho Got the Part?\u201d by Sarah McKinley Oakes, Back Stage<\/i>, 2\/16\/10<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

(Ron adds: “Clayton must have been at one of your past workshops.”)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

————————————————————————————————————————<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And here’s a quote from Jim Parsons of “The Big Bang Theory”:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI enjoy auditioning. My advice for getting through it, in all seriousness would be that this may be your only chance in these few minutes to play this part\u2026it sometimes helps me to think about it like that. Like, whatever, you know? This is my take on it, this is what I\u2019m doing with it and this is the only time I\u2019ll have to get to do it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy auditioning!<\/p>\n
