Question: What do you take with you to an acting audition!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Copies of Headshot and Resume!. (at least 2!)

Sides, if you were provided earlier!. If not, arrive 10-15 minutes early to review the sides at the location!.

If you have long hair, and planning to leave your hair down at the audition!. Make sure you bring a hair-band with you!. There maybe a time a casting director would ask you to tie your hair up!.

Never attend the audition wearing heavy makeup!. But bring your own mini-makeup set with you!. For last minute re-touch!. Or, if you arrived on location and realized the character they are looking is someone who is more mature!.!.!. you can do some minor adjustment so you would look some-what close to the role!.

If it's a Modeling or a Commercial audition!.!.!. bring a pair of heel with you!. Sometimes, at an Film/TV audition, they would do a full-body shot of the talent!. If the character is someone who is either sexy, professional, elegant!.!.!.or mature!.!.!. then wear your heels when you go in!.

A light Jacket!. If you went to an audition wearing only a tank-top!. Just incase if the AC is on full blast at the location, or you noticed that other talents are dressing rather conservative, then you might want to 'cover-up' a little bit!. (don't button/zip up)

A small bottle of water (for yourself) if this is a Musical audition!.

Last, but not least - Professionalism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
