A very dear friend of mine constantly uses this phrase when reminding me of the importance and value of knowing every detail when going in for a new job or business opportunity.
There is value in knowing everything and knowing everyone in whom you will possibly be connected to during your audition. We as performers can never be too prepared as we step into the audition room.
Such as:
1. Knowing who is behind the table. The director, choreographer, etc. and knowing even details about them, their work environment and location of which you are auditioning for.
2. Knowing the role you are auditioning for. The show, the age, the character, the background, the story that brought me to this point and what will lead me out.
3. Knowing your music. This includes style, rhythm and execution of.
4. Dressed appropriately. Time period, Age appropriate and are you comfortable.
5. Do you have two headshots and resumes with you?
6. Are we grounded and centered. I feel that no audition is ever successful if we do not find ourselves centered and grounded. This can be an easy breath exercise or stretch to relax the muscles and center our breath. Being grounded helps us find the character and reminds us that less is more.
The Devil Is In The Details can refer to so much more. Here you find some basic things to check right before you hit your next audition.
Best of luck in your next audition.
Kind regards,
