Today my guest Michael Forsch and I will be talking all about auditions! What to expect in the audition room, how to calm your nerves, and tips and tricks that you can use to deliver a show-worthy performance!
Michael Forsch is a Producer, Actor, Director, and Writer. Originally from Los Angeles, Michael Forsch started working in show business early as a child actor. After moving to Las Vegas 15 years ago he has been very active in the Vegas independent film scene. His film credits include “Party Bus To Hell” (acting alongside Tara Reid) and as a Producer, he has produced award-winning short films as well as internationally distributed feature films.
- Remember: Casting directors are rooting for you to succeed. So when you step into the audition room, focus on just giving your best performance. Even if you don’t receive that particular part, your memorable audition can get you booked for other roles that the casting department is looking to fill.
- Research: What local acting and improv classes are available in your area? As you research your options, don’t forget to research the instructors. What are their credentials? Do they have positive reviews? Are they currently working? Acting classes are not a one-size-fits-all scenario. Make sure the environment and the instructor is what will bring out the best in you.
- Challenge: If you’re trying to break into the industry as an actor or uplevel your current acting career, go get up-to-date headshots. Look for a professional photographer who specializes in headshots. This will ensure that they don’t simply capture a “pretty” photo, but one that highlights your features in a way that showcases your suitability for a variety of roles.
