I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience? What did you learn? I learned that the more choices you make the better. Sell out on your character and commit to it. Be memorable, be dynamic and be confident.
That's a very valuable piece of advice Dan. I have never worked on casting but I can see how it could be very interesting to watch from 'the other side' as it were. To continue on that point and go on...

To continue on that point and go on a slight tangent, I think one of the hardest things to grasp in acting is know how you come across, how you appear to others and often you find that you're coming across in a totally different way than you expected / wished. This is why it is always good to have an impartial outside viewer give you feedback on auditions pieces, monologues, songs etc.

Expand commentBoth good points. As far as being on their side, we had everyone audition from beginners to people with 80 films under their belt and at times I thought wow I hope this person does good. They have a great look. And for a lot of the beginners I just thought I hope they stick with it. They could be really good a year from now.
