The best tip I can give you is know that he/she wants you to succeed!. Having the confidence that the person you are auditioning in front of wants you to do well and knowing you have a reason to be performing in front of them helps a lot with the confidence!. also, make sure you do physical and vocal warm-ups, both before the audition and before every time you practice!. After all, you practice as you will perform it, whether you think you will or not!. And finally, PRACTICE! But I'm guessing you knew that one already! :)

Be positive, be confident and be friendly!. Listen to instructions not just acting instructions but whatever they're telling you in terms of where to stand, how to slate etc!. If they engage you in personal conversation be friendly and be brief!. Do not get into personal problems or issues!. I've seen it happen, people get nervous and babble on!. So just keep it simple and good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Confidence!. No one wants an actor who will freak out doing their job!. Make sure you show them that you can do it!. Because you are better than anybody else they've seen!. I know that sounds arrogant, but you need to believe that!. There's a reason that so many celebrities are full of themselves!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Remember that you are their good news!. They have been waiting for the right person to walk in all day, and desperately want it to be you!. They never want you to fail, so work with them!. They are on your side really!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well, i model and act so i normally act confident and i know the business!. Dont let them mess with your head, smile, not forced, and make eye contact!. that shows that you arent shy and that you do in fact haveconfidence!. good luck hun! =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Give LOTS of emotion in your line read or script read, and try to show him/her that your amazing and that you're meant to be what your auditioning for!Www@QuestionHome@Com
