Hey Amy, just wanted to give you a update. I watched this video a while back.
I talked my way into a audition for a role my resume generally would not have been good enough for.
While I was auditioning, my sides took on many different roles, during the 15-20 min I spent auditioning, really 15-20min. It was a out of this world experience, and one of my top 2 auditions ever. I used them as a letter, newspaper, building materials, a rocket, many things. I didn't get the role, but like I said, I was 20 years younger than the breakdown asked for, and I cried multiple times, went very big, when I knew the full scrip probably would have dictated a much less, etc. However, I did win over the Director, and I think the rest of the people that watched the tape. I even received a follow up email stating I was a very talented actor, and they would have me back to audition for their other projects.
I call it a home run!
So, Thank You Amy!
Thank You, Very Much!
When you see me on the big screen, and you will, remember that it is because of people like you that actually share your knowledge with the broke actors of tomorrow, that a person like me was able to develop my skill to a level where I book very often.
Plus, paper sides suggest it's still a work in progress, and can improve accordingly!
+Guyon YES!!! THIS!! even if you are memorized...having that script in hand shows that you will be even more amazing when on set off script :)
Im loving your videos!!! Im learning so much!!! Keep them coming!!!
You make your tips excited and interesting Amy. All these things am learning, I better never EVER mess up in an audition.
Thank u so much for this video going to do my first audition in a few months
I always print my sides at home even though they have usually been available at auditions. I like having them in my back pocket up until the day of the audition. Once however, the writer/ casting director asked if I could read for another part. Of course I said yes. They e-mailed me the new sides and asked if I could step out, look them over, come back and read off my phone. I agreed, but OMG. I was so nervous. I didn't have the biggest screen on my phone. The happy ending was a week or so later when I got a call back to read with the CD/WRITER/ lead actress. I was very excited. So even though I came prepared....I was not prepared to read for another part....off my phone. Sadly the project lost funding, but it was a great learning experience. ✌️PS I always thought about using a Kindle for sides, but with technology Murphy's law is multiplied by a gazillion! So sticking to paper. 😁
great tip, thanks Amy!!
I always make sure to put my phone away when I enter the audition room.
Great tip! Thank you! I even turn my phone off! Always get a call or text at the worst time!
My paper sides are always marked up with notes and high lights. It lets the CD's see I'm putting thought into it.
I personally always thought it was disrespectful to the directors and casting agents to use technology period during an audition. I never knew some would be open to it. Thank you for posting this tip!!
Not an issue in Toronto. You are expected to have your sides memorized, regardless of when they were received.
Shawn Devlin same in France.
Thank you for continuously doing this!
You are HILARIOUS 😂. Subscribed!
I'm auditioning for an agency in a couple of weeks. I have to prepare a monologue and a song. I have only done a few auditions before and never for an agency. Any tips?
This was very helpful, thank you!!
Thanks for your tips! Question: if I'm in an audition where I'm doing a dramatic scene, is it fine to say those lines looking into the casting director's eyes or into the camera more? If there is no camera and there is a line up of directors, then which is more appropriate? Thanks again! -Beatrice Erika Mays
Erika Mays usually there would be a person who is speaking back to you. Look at the person you’re talking to. If it’s a monologue then it’s your job to make that decision on where you’ll look at. Never look at the camera though.
@@roojali4031 I have an audition this Sunday. It's a monologue and the script says to look straight into the camera 😂😂😂 go figure.
Love your videos, they're so helpful!! What did you use to do the blue intro?
+Nicole Elizabeth Honestly, I have no idea. I have an editor that does that cool stuff for me. If you’d like me to ask, just email my office (asst@amyjoberman.com) so we can send you the response.
who the hell brings an ipad to an audition room
I always ,always use paper for my sides😊
thank god i'm old and i still use paper, haha!
you kinda sound like Ellen
Why use sides at all? it is not hard to be off book. It makes the audition run more smoothly. I've heard all the arguments against being off book. I don't buy them. I'm a professional actor with respectable credits. i'm speaking from direct experience.
