Practice makes perfect!. Ive been auditioning for well over thirty five years and I still get nervous!.
Keep in mind they want you to do well!. They are looking for the right person for the role!. They want to see you at your best and are pulling for you!. Go in and have fun!. Play!. You arent going to get every role!. Dont worry what other people think, don't even worry!. Have fun!. Keep in mind all the actors out there are thinking of themselves!. They may be watching or listening but a good actor will always think " Im better than that person" regardless!. As you wait to audition, just relax and smile!. Imagine seeing the people auditioning you smiling at you and wanting you to get the part!.

Take a deep breath and knock em dead!. Then when you walk out !.!.!.forget all about it!. If you continue acting!.!.!. youll be auditioning a lot!. Some ya get!. Some ya dont!. Its a numbers game!. It has less to do with talent than a lot of people care to think about!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The above answer is perfect!. The only thing I'll add, is that I always got there early so I could pee if I had too!. I know it's nuts, but nerves made me feel like I had to wee, and no one wants to go into an audition feeling like that!
