At The Audition in One Source Talent

a. Arrive early
i. If you have not filled out an One Source Talent Audition Application or any other paperwork, it is important for you to arrive early so that you and your Mum or Dad can complete all the required forms before your scheduled audition time.
ii. If you have already received and filled out the forms, it is still important to arrive early so that you can be settled and at ease. This will increase your chances of doing a better audition than someone who is running late and has no time to prepare themself.

b. In the Waiting Room
i. While you are waiting for your One Source Talent Audition, you are actually already auditioning. And when you’re waiting after your audition at the location, you’re still auditioning. Theatre folks are a tight knit community and the audition process is a way to field out red flags and trouble spots. PARENTS, this goes for you too: If you are a “stage parent” and causing friction at the audition location you may cost your kid a role. It happens more than you think. Be easy going and a team player.
c. Butterflies and Stage Fright
i. The directors aren’t nervous if they’ve done their homework and know what they are looking for. What? Directors nervous? Maybe stressful would be a better word. Directors only have a set number of hours to field auditionees, and they do NOT want to make a mistake and overlook any gems. The director’s mind is going into overdrive thinking of all the possible role combinations for each auditionee. A good producer will have staff on hand to assist with the audition sign-in process. The directors need to focus 100% on the auditionees without distraction.
ii. Overcoming Stage Fright is not any easy task but it can be done! Keep in mind that every Director wants you to have a good experience auditioning for a show.
iii. Help yourself overcome stage fright by practicing your song, dance, monologue, scene or whatever you are performing...to the point where you no longer have to think about the action itself...in other words, it becomes "second nature".
iv. Rehearsing both mentally and physically will help you to know and understand your own talent. This is important as you need to know that you are capable of performing the task at hand. Practice to gain confidence in your own abilities and try to do this is as close to the real circumstances under which you will perform. This will help to "desensitize" you to the experience.
v. All performers experience some degree of performance anxiety. Do not ever think that you are alone in this experience! The trick is to channel your nervous energy into positive energy which helps you to perform at your best.
vi. What are some of the symptoms of stage fright you ask? Everyone will experience it differently, some of the things it may include are; giggling, nervous talking, rapid heartbeat, frequently running to the potty, quick short breaths, withdrawal from conversation, dry mouth or throat, sweating and becoming short tempered. These are many of the same symptoms that people with general anxiety experience. vii. Over time you will develop your own methods for coping with performance anxiety. For now, you could try some of the following methods: 1. Positive self-talk 2. Focussing on the Character you are portraying and NOT yourself. 3. Picture yourself at the audition and see yourself having a positive experience. Imagine the applause of an appreciative crowd. 4. Write down an explanation of your pictured positive experience. This will help make it real. 5. Keep in mind that it is good to be a perfectionist and set high goals for yourself but make sure your goals are within your reach. If you set unattainable goals you are setting yourself up for disappointment and possible failure. 6. Ask an adult you trust how they cope with anxiety. 7. The majority of actors find that, with more performance and audition experience, things become easier. Everyone learns to overcome their anxiety at a different place. Please be patient with yourself and others.

Audition Scam baiting Tips, Hints and Suggestions

Prepare your scambaiting personna before you start the scambait (name, address, phone, etc.) - this will prevent you from making mistakes that will give you away later to the scammer.

Use a free email account for your scambaiting - Yahoo, gmail, Hotmail, Live.com, etc.

Don't give scammer any real information - for obvious reasons...

Address Information - I use a fake address nearby (city that is close by), just in case they trace my IP Address.

Phone Information - Do not give them your home or work number! Use k7.net (for messages) or a cell phone - I use a number that always rings, then make some excuse why I never answer (at work, store, etc.).

Make a fake ID to use - it doesn't have to be perfect - a scammer doesn't know what a real ID looks like. The scammer will almost always ask for an ID - if you don't send them one the bait may be over. ***Note*** Many scambaiters will warn against this - that you are helping a scammer by giving him a fake ID to use. It's your choice - you may want to use a fake name in the ID that any westerner would recognize as fake (Harry Buttkrack, Phil McCrakin, Anita Spermbath, etc.).

Flight Schedules - when you are trying to convince a scammer that you are traveling to his country, you can use Orbitz or Travelocity for the flight details.

Most scambaiters suggest setting up a "catcher" account to receive scam emails, and a "baiter" account to carry on the bait. This is sound advice, but not always necessary - you can actually copy a scam email you find on the web or bulletin board, and paste it to a new email to "reply" to a scammer. They send out so many emails, they will never know that they never actually sent an email to you.

Scam bait with your eyes wide open - remember, these are criminals you are dealing with and everything that comes from their mouth is most likely a lie. In the course of the scambait, you will be cussed out, issued death threats, voodoo curses, etc. Scambaiting is not for the Faint-of-Heart..

One Source Talent scam baiting

Make their lives difficult! Remember, they will have certain documents already prepared, so ask for other documents as proof. They will send you a "Certificate of Deposit" for a bank account - ask for a current Account Statement instead. Explain that a Certificate of Deposit only shows what was deposited in the account years ago, but not what is in the account now. They will waste valuable computer time making a fake, silly-looking document...

If they send you a Passport ID, ask for a Driver's License and vice versa. Notice that the picture on both is usually the same...

Ask many stupid questions and make sure they answer every question you have. They will try to stick to their script - get them off it.

Poke holes in all of their ideas, theories, and routines. The typical scammer knows nothing about business or banking, so correct them, question them, suggest other methods, etc.

Question every spelling error - even if you do understand what they meant. This will also waste their valuable time.

Insult the other characters to the main character (probably the same person...) - it usually takes me two or three emails after I am "introduced" to the lawyer to tell the client what a moron the lawyer is.

Point out all of their mistakes - I don't know how many times I received an email from a scammer who signs it with the wrong name. I am presently involved in a bait right now where the girl in the refugee camp (Paulina) complained about being there, she's sick, hungry, abused, etc., etc., and then signed it Linda. I said, "Yeah, you must be in dire straights because you seem to have forgotten your own name...".

Trace their IP Address (you can use www.ip2location.com) and ask them why they are emailing from Nigeria when they are supposed to be in England...

Inspect all of the documents that they send you carefully and have them correct every mistake. Most of the time, these documents were not designed by the original scammer and they don't have the ability to edit them (jpeg image or pdf).

Scammers are constantly getting their free email accounts shut down. Don't let them get away with this without a fight! I like to tell them 'that I contacted Yahoo when the mail came back undelivered, and Yahoo said the account was shut down for fraudulent activities' - let's see them explain that one!

When a bait starts to peter out or if you haven't heard from the scammer in a while - send them a message 'that you sent the money via MoneyGram, did you get it yet'. Nothing revives a dead bait like the promise of money! Take the Hard Line Stance with the scammers - I do admit that I lose some doing this - but if they don't comply with your every wish and answer every question, tell them 'Nevermind, I am not interested in doing this anymore' - you will find it hard to get rid of them and often, they beg you to take them back!

The Kiss-Off - this is my favorite - where you are sick of the scammer or are beginning to lose them. Call them every name you can think of, be vulgar, insult their children, parents, country, religion, race - whatever it takes to piss them off!

One of the best insults to a scammer is if they think many people are laughing at them (i.e. - "my friends and I laughed at how stupid you are...").

Never, ever let them get in the last word! Remember, one of the main goals is to keep them busy - if they keep replying to your insults, they are not scamming someone else!

One source talent says understanding of audition motivation techniques

One source talent says audition motivation's the force that inspires us to act. Motivation is very personal and uniquely our own there is no one size fits all strategy that yields success. We are each motivated by different things, such as prestige, recognition, freedom, challenge, security, money, and so forth. The key is to discover what motivates each individual and align his or her needs might offer a change for promotion, highly visible work, challenger, or the opportunity tolead, among others.

Uncovering one’s specific motivators is a task easily accomplished via observation and questioning asks what motivates him or her. Armed with this information, managers are able to establish conditions that are motivating for their staff, resulting in stronger interpersonal relationships and more effective implementation of change.
Do not assume that all people are motivated primarily by money, for research indicates they are not. In fact, in most employee surveys cash ranks between fourth and eighth in terms of importance- appreciation typically ranks as most important.

One source talent reviews models and shows

Generally speaking it is easy to find willing volunteers to model in the show. A variety of height, shapes and sizes is good. You must have the models measurements as soon as possible to ensure the outfits all fit.

Discussing the small details of the show is perhaps the most fun and creative part of organising the event. How are you going to make your show really original, make it really stand out? The team should get together to brainstorm a few ideas. How is the show going to work? Is it going to be one continuous catwalk show or is it going to be broken up into ‘scenes’ or ‘looks’ with a short break in between? If so, how are you going to fill the break, remember you need to entertain the audience at all times?

Here is a list of things you might want to consider: 1. If you opt for a continuous catwalk show, you must give the models time to get changed. Estimate the rough time it will take a model to walk down the catwalk. Allow 3 minutes minimum for a change. Work out how many models must go in between a models first and second appearance. THIS IS NOT AS COMPLICATED AS IT SOUNDS!

2. Perhaps there is a band or singer who would like to perform. Or perhaps some dancers who would like to perform a routine.

3. A poetry reading or short drama piece.

4. A magician or jugglers always entertain the audience.

5. Use the breaks to highlight some of thinking behind the show. EG if you want to highlight the use of child labour in the fashion industry you could show a film1 or read an account of children working to produce clothing for Europe.

6. If the show is being organised as a fundraising event then a spokesperson from the charity could make a short speech about the nature of the charity.

7. If the show is being organised as a fundraising event then a spokesperson from the charity could make a short speech about the nature of the charity.

8. Think about how you are going to introduce the show. Are you going to have a compere to introduce the different sections of the show? Consider whether you will have amplified sound. Or perhaps at the beginning of each section the first model can hold a sign signifying the new ‘look’. 9. What music are you going to use?

one source talent auditioning tips for dancers

one source talent auditioning tips for dancers PREPERATION

• Read audition notices carefully. Come prepared to audition – bring pointe shoes, etc. as requested.
• Do homework – research the organization, find out who you are replacing and if they are looking for a specific type.
• Be aware of the fact that AGMA companies are required to hold “open” auditions even if they know whom they want.
• Audition as much as you can to gain experience.
• Be neat – do not have holes in your dance clothes – and wear clothes that are flattering and comfortable.
• Most companies want to see dancers at scheduled auditions, but dancers can be invited to take company classes.
• Private auditions improve your chance of landing the job.
• If there are no positions available, ask when they will know if a contract is opening up.
• Do not call too often - perhaps once every two weeks.
• Keep fit – directors usually view you as you are – they assume you look the best you will ever look.
• Be prepared to pay a fee. Some companies charge for auditions.

TYPES

• Ballet Auditions –Usually in the form of a class (barre, center combinations, en diagonale).
• Modern Auditions – usually warm-up exercises and combinations across the floor – perhaps improvisation.
• Musical Theater Auditions – versatility translates into employability.
DURING
• Never be late! Arrive early to warm up and settle.
• Always be polite – watch your attitude.
• Approach each audition as a learning experience; turn your fear into excitement.
• Treat auditions like a performance – give it your best shot, do it in full out style, dance with clarity and conviction.
• Mix with other dancers. Ask questions – you may learn something valuable.
• Be aware that choreographers and directors look for personal qualities.
• Watch the directors – look at whom they are watching. You can learn about the quality of the dancer they are seeking.
• Concentrate and maintain your composure.
• Do not wear braces, wrapped badges, etc. – lest you look injury-prone.
• Try to go in the middle so that you can watch dancers before you go.
• Dance the combinations exactly as given – do not interpret or improvise unless asked to do so.
• Watch for quality of movements. Access the style of the company and listen to directives.
• Always maintain eye contact.
• Be mindful of you behavior when not dancing. You are probably being watched.
• You may be required to return two or three times for line up.
• Be prepared to sing and read a scene.

AFTER

• Evaluate how you did so you will know what your weaknesses are – turns, jumps, fast foot work, etc.
• Wear the same dance clothes and hairstyle each time you are called back so that you can become easily identifiable.
• Interviews may be a deciding factor.
• And remember: do not take rejection as failure – you may be the wrong height, type, etc.

Song and dance Audition Tips and Techniques

Song Audition Tips and Techniques

i. Start by preparing a song (preferably two). Many times you may be asked to sing an upbeat song and a ballad.

ii. Find songs that are appropriate for your age and type of voice. Make sure it is a song that will show both your singing range and your character attributes. (Many Pop Songs are not good for audition pieces as they do not showcase the singing range of the performer.)

iii. Most directors of musical Theatre do not want you to sing a song from the show that you are auditioning for as your audition piece. Occasionally you will find that a Director may want a song from the show. Please check with the person taking your audition bookings whether it is OK or not to sing a song from the show.

iv. One of the best kids audition tips is to make sure the songs you choose are songs that you enjoy singing. This enjoyment will show through in your performance. We all do better at things we like to do.

v. Find sheet music for Broadway Musicals on the internet, or at a music store, book store or the library. If you are auditioning for a particular part in a musical it is a good idea to become familiar with the music which your character sings in the show... Even if you audition with another song, you'll have a basic idea just in case.

Dance Audition Tips and Techniques

• i. Dance might also be a part of your audition. A worthwhile kids audition tip is to ask, if you can, about this before going to the audition. Should you need to dance, be sure to wear something you can move in. You might also want to bring a change of clothes just in case, and if you have been training...your dance shoes.
• ii. If you have been taking dance lessons, and are putting this down on your resume, it would be a good idea to rehearse any solo routines that you have preformed just in case you are asked to do a little something.
• iii. A great kids audition tip is to understand that many times the choreographer watching your audition is simply trying to see if a young person can move and if they are capable of picking up a routine. There are also many plays in which not every character is required to dance. Kids with very little training many times are cast for their natural ability to move.
• iv. Don't worry about this too much...just do your best.

Web Series Auditions: Atlanta

6 of our Atlanta actors have been requested to audition for the upcoming web series "Livin Life".

The premise of the show is about a young black male, Kevin Jacobs, that has moved to Atlanta per his mother pushing him out of the house and urging him to go to college and find a job. Kevin's best friend, Bali, has convinced his parents to allow Kevin to rent out their summer home in Atlanta. However, Kevin quickly learns he won't be able to afford the rent alone and is obligated to get roommates. From there, the everyday struggles of a lazy college student with unwanted roommates begin to take place.

The client was casting for three roles. Bali- An energetic 19 year old male with no ambitions. His parents are wealthy, however he does not accept anything from them due to him resenting them for his upbringing. He is a freshman in college and not currently working. He has asked his parents to rent out their summer home to his best friend Kevin who has just moved to Atlanta.

Tasha- An independent, loud mouth, intelligent, ghetto, know it all. Tasha has been in school one year already. She is looking for a place to stay and has chosen to stay with Kevin in his new home. She does not know Kevin, she saw the posting for the house online. And finally for the role of Tommy- A nine year old smart Alec who lives next door and comes over uninvited anytime he so chooses. Although he is a smart guy, know it all and borderline inappropriate, he is tolerated because he gives great advice and is partially entertaining.

Our actors will be auditioning this week and next week for the new show! Good luck to all talent chosen to audition!

Self assessment and development in talent auditions

Most of us are “works in process.” Whether we realize it or not, learning occurs on a daily basis as a result of our personal and talent professional experiences. We tend to learn more from our mistakes or failures, however, than from our successes. Why? Failure often rocks our world. We reflect on, reexamine, and agonize over our mistakes, often vowing not to make them again. We ask ourselves the following questions:
• How did this happen?
• What did I do wrong?
• Why did I make this decision?
• What can I do differently in the future?
Success doesn’t have the same impact. Rarely do we reflect on the reasons for our successes – the conditions and sequence of decisions that resulted in our accomplishments. We triumph, congratulate ourselves, and move on without identifying the model knowledge and skills we applied or the steps in which we engaged. As a result, we are often unable to duplicate our accidental successes, for we don’t understand why they occurred.
