Question: On an audition sheet, what is the best answer to write under "Parts Desired"!?
I'm auditioning for my college's play next week, and I'm not sure as to what is best to write under "Parts Desired!." I've been told it's best to write "Anything" (because they know you're not stuck up and won't accept a lesser role) but I've also been told writing "Anything" makes them think you'll settle for a small role, and that's what you'll get!.
Should I write the big role I'd like, chancing that I won't get to read for any other roles and maybe not be picked for them, or should I write "anything"!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I find it's a good idea to write "I'm interested in playing [insert character here] because [insert reason here], but would be happy to play any role given" That way, you show that your willing to participate in the production at any level, but give an idea of the kind of part you'd enjoy playing, even if you weren't to get that specific part!. Best of luck with your audition =) xWww@QuestionHome@Com

Write the role you'd really lilke!. If you want to soften it a bit, and say WHY the certain part appeals to you!.!.

(Say its the play Oklahoma)
I would enjoy the part of !.!.!.!. Ado Annie!. I love the giddy enthusiasm of the role, and think i could portray it with the right amount of brassiness balanced with innocence!.

That way, it shows that you understand the production, and the characters!.

also, on a personal note, hon!. This is a great time to practice stating what you REALLY WANT!. As girls we are taught to be wishy washy and give in to other people's wants!. STAND UP FOR YOUR FINE SELF!!! Say what is on you mind! If you don't tell anyone, no one will guess what you want!. And that includes guys and men later on!.

Go for it and good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

always write 'anything', you should always be interested in the success of the show more than any personal success!. if you are what they are looking for for the lead, you will get the lead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Write the name of the part you want first, then write open to anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
