Tips for Suceeding at an audition

These tips can also be applied to other facets of your life

 

Not all of the points were read in this video, however explanations are included

• Non-iconic role for the audition
• No graphic language nor violence in dialogue
• Type of acting is in a large range- get to know yourself!
• 60-90 seconds length
• Dramatic play- no novel and keep it current (1940s to present) or classic (Greek, Shakespeare, etc.)
• Monologues need good transitions
• Read the whole scene at the monologue
• Choose a strong character over a victim
• Be active in movements
• For backup, bring a song, 16 bars, either or both super slow and fast
• Basic research of the play auditioning for
• Props brought, just in case
• Avoid an accent, especially a bad accent not related to the role
• Do not rush the introduction
• Have a good day mentality, look the director in the eye
• When leaving the stage, look at one final time the directors and recruiters
• Accent whom you are talking to: give idea of how many times you've told the story
• Use active present verbs: happens
• Use emotional contrasts, to show your range
• Look paralell from the stage, prefer within eye level of casters
• Crescendo of points as made
• An exclamation over a pause to symbolize a conversation
• Use body language to show your focus
• Show more reaction with face fully observed and script mainly at waist level
• In confrontations, decide step by step or walking forward
• When referencing God, look at upper level

Eminem Gets Punked by a Twink

I'm late to the game on this one, from last September:

Machine Gun Kelly vs Eminem

mgk rap devil reaction by two black guys. Eh I thought these 2 were gonna laugh at how dumb this was, but instead the video adds context to this feud that I was never aware of. At least they acknowledge Eminem's career is over, though was it a secret?

Eminem could have bowed out of the mainstream but chose not to.

First, that I am aware of, he makes an anti-Trump song that reeks of desperation. 

Then this skinny emocore rapper goes after him and owns him. 

Nuff said!

Recent Music Loved by the Youth and ME (Crown the Empire, Post Malone, Parkway Drive, Fall of Troy, Strungout, Gavin Can Dance, Taking Back Sunday and Stick to Your Guns)

Punk Rock MBA, hmm I would more say Hardcore MBA, as it is more that new school feel. I wish I had given these subgenres a more chance in the past. I didn't totally ignore this, but still. 

This is from this show where he answers comments/questions from viewers, so here we have a hodgepodge variety show.

Taking Back Sunday

Stick to Your Guns

Andrew Dice Clay, Glen Benton of Deicide and Bob Larson

This album is Dice's "avant garde" live recording, on Christmas Eve to an audience seeing advertising put out 24 hours before the gig. Awkward silences, sexist comments and some misogyny too, threats to audience members, people walking out, hecklers, etc.

I tried to look for this on one of many blogs that a decade ago had it for download via Mediafire.

This CD is hard to find, hence the prices at sites such as this:

https://mintunderground.com/products/andrew-dice-clay-the-day-the-laughter-died-part-ii-2

Anyways fuck find it all on Youtube. I was just documenting the search brief interest I had in the album.

The Arguement

This was also about what else I found on Google in the search results.

Dice Gottfried

While looking for this blog that had a mediafire file of this Diceman album, I remembered also at this site was a recording of the Bob Larson Show with him arguing with Glen Benton of the Satanic Death Metal band Deicide.
