Sometimes 1 Word Auditions Are Difficult
When actors receive the sides (the short portion of the script that we read for the audition) that have 1 word in their audition, it can be confusing for actors. Some actors feel angry and feel like they are wasting their time. Or, they think that the casting director has no respect for their acting skills and that is why they only have 1 word to say.
What Some Actors Don’t Understand About 1 Word Auditions
For the actors who get upset and think the casting director is disrespecting them,
they are wrong. No writer will place one word in a script unless it is important.
Saying one word or pages of dialogue can be difficult. The reason the actor
was requested to audition for the role is because the casting director thinks the actor is perfect
for the character.
Actors Need to Decide Whose Scene It Is
Knowing who the scene is about is a necessary part of audition
preparation for all projects. If the scene is not about you, don’t
try and make it about yourself. Sometimes the 1 word is said to
set up the scene for someone else. Or the scene is all about
the actor with 1 word.
