I believe the ultimate audition is one where the actor blows every preconceived notion of "what they want" out of the water because he/she presented such a unique, fresh and interesting take on whatever it is they are casting. It requires an actor to be completely fearless, but I believe there is no other choice..Not only that, but as an actor if you try to put your finger on the pulse of the casting process, you will drive yourself absolutely insane..chicago goofhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17023559107254332996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11645472.post-1146025413914278392006-04-25T21:23:00.000-07:002006-04-25T21:23:00.000-07:00Goof, I applaud your indifference.

That's the basic attitude which serves actors best in auditions, I think: Do your absolute best, and if they don't like it it's their loss.Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02827576134631755249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11645472.post-1146015627013198822006-04-25T18:40:00.000-07:002006-04-25T18:40:00.000-07:00The casting process in this town is so foreign to ...The casting process in this town is so foreign to me, that I have gotten to the point where I don't really give a damn anymore who thinks I'm good and who doesn't. It's pretty incestuous actually, and if we really knew to what extent we would probably quit. So I think basically you just have to go with your instincts and if they like it fine if they don't who careschicago goofhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17023559107254332996noreply@blogger.com
