Q: Hi I'm an A level drama student thinking about going on to drama/dance scool in london and I've not done any auditions before has anyone got any tips to help with nerves and confidance?
Many thx Joolz,(i rate high)
First off, pick audition material that shows off your talent. Polish these pieces so you know them backwards ad forwards. Ask your drama teacher for a good monologue for you or read some plays and cut them yourself. An important thing about an audition is looking and acting professional. Pull your hair out of your face, where solid colored, non-distracting clothing and minimal jewelry. And as for confidence, the more you work on your audition pieces, and the more comfortable you are with them, the more confident you'll be.

Thanks for the tip about clothing (coz i like my jewelery!!)
