Feedback for the Actor

Normally, the only feedback you get after an audition is if you got the part or not. This means that actor’s can go through the entire audition without ever really knowing what went wrong. It can be really difficult if you give all of that power to the decision makers – to the Casting Director and Director. It will lead to feelings of rejection that you don’t deserve. What I suggest is that instead of worrying about getting feedback, you should focus on one thing each time that you go into the audition room. You should focus on answering this question:

Did you show them what you could do?

This question is important because the goal of auditioning is not to get a part. It’s to show the decision makers what you are capable of so that you can get future roles.

I know it’s difficult when you don’t get feedback so you MUST get to the point where you give YOURSELF feedback – Where you say to yourself, “Do I feel GOOD about what I did in the room?” 

It’s your job to do AWESOME STUFF. Don’t worry about getting feedback from the decision makers. Just focus on doing what you can, the best way that you know how.

 You MUST develop a way to measure the success of your auditions that doesn’t include booking the job or getting the role.
