Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Audition Help???Question: Audition Help!?!?!? I have an audition for a main role on a tv show I'd really like ot get and I've just bee told (from one of my friends, sister & mum) that I don't sound natural!.!.!.that I sound like I'm reading!?
But I don't understand this because I've been main parts in shows and stuff before!.!.!. anyway, I'm accepting the fact I don't sound natural and am now just wondering how I can stop this!.!.!.how do I make myself sound natural, not reading!?!?!? help much appreciated thanks!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: many good actors don't memorize their scripts and improvise a very large portion of it i suggest you get into your character try to feel what that character would be feeling at that moment and change the tone of your voice accordingly also relax a bit while speaking it doesn't need to be exactly on the script for example: "you are incredibly beautiful" you would say: "you're inCREDibly beautiful" (capitals are emphasis)Www@QuestionHome@Com If you have a script then ,try to memorise the words off by heart so you can focus on emotions,voice and face expressions!. maybe your friends said that because maybe they dont think this role suits you!.but thats just their opinion , try hard ,no one knows maybe the judges ADORE you!. even in school plays of you dont get the part you wanted,you will get a better part than if you didnt audition at all we used to say,and it is true!. Good Luck and i hope this helped and i hope you get the partWww@QuestionHome@Com Instead of reading, try to feel the paragraph!. Like if it said 'i feel sad' try to imagine what that feels like, then when reading it your voice should naturally match your thoughts, as well as your actions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I have been to a few auditions so I think the best way to sound natural is to get your emotional feeling into the words you're speaking!.(Don't sound like a machine) This always helps me Goodluck with your audition!!Www@QuestionHome@Com It could do with the fact that you are trying too hard and rushing things too much!. The key is to just relax and take things as they come!. Act as if it were a real life event and go from there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Whats the TV show!? Good luck, be youself as if you have talent, it will ooze from you :)Www@QuestionHome@Com wow - i was told that when i auditioned for a couple of radio stations when you find the answer - please let me know :(Www@QuestionHome@Com Read like you are telling a story!.
