stay in character untill its over. Put your heart into it, try to understand the motivation of the part you are trying out for, be that person and own that part. It helps you phychologically to become another person that is not constrained by the moral code we live by thats what a mask or make up does for you. I also like to try out on sceene in the haunt, a sterile stage or epmty room is quite difficult to work. the other thing I like to here is yes, I will be there every night you are open. show discipline out of character and pasion in character. I have a check off sheet that scales 1-5 catagories in intensity, scares, stays in character, adaptability, and entertaining. then I write specific comments on what I see. It is ok , infact the goal to scare the person running the auditions, you may not be able to see it in them, they have seen alot, they are desensitized. But if I get goose bumps up my spine I am loving that!
