Time to excise the word “perfect” from your actor lexicon.
I know many actors who, when auditioning, strive to “execute perfectly”. But you’re a human, not a robot. And “perfect” is in the eye of the beholder… who’s to say what is or isn’t?
So instead of aiming for perfection, consider these goals when auditioning:
• Connection
• Active listening
• Full body awareness
• Complex, layered emotions
• Trust that the camera will sense your deep, subtle work
• Clarity and understanding of the text
(Notice I didn’t say things like lack of background noise or edge-free backdrops?)
Professional athletes don’t execute perfectly every time. They train to give themselves the best chance at succeeding, no matter the circumstances.
Hone your tools, then trust your training.
