How to Audition

For purposes of audition, please have the following ready:

One completed Actor Bio
One completed Agent Bio
One actor Journal

Please note that each of your Actors must audition separately. Staff members and other non-actor characters do not need to audition.

STEP ONE: Using your actor journal, post to the Casting Office community with a subject of: Audition: Actor Name (Obviously, that's your Actor name in there!)

STEP TWO: Copy this into the body of the post and answer to the best of your ability. Answers should be in character (the Actor answering the questions, not you answering them OOC), first-person unless otherwise indicated.

Actor Name:
Agent Name:
Link to Actor Bio:
Link to Agent Bio:

Previous acting experience:

Why do you want to act for 4-D Studios?

What do you feel you can bring to the studio?

What would you do if a rumor about you appeared in the tabloids?

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

What lifetime experience (acting or non-acting) are you most proud of?

Screen Test:
(to be written as a third person scene, two-or-three paragraphs is fine):
Pick one of the following scenarios and act it out for us:

An elderly person discovering they cannot remember their grandchild's name
A foreigner trying to find their way in an unfamiliar city
A shy person trying to get up the nerve to speak to someone on the bus
A once heroic figure who is now down on his luck and begging for change
A ballplayer who has just blown the game for his/her team
A firefighter who realizes he can't save the victim from the burning building in time
A corrupt police officer shaking down a drug dealer for information
A kid finding out Santa isn't real in an unusual way

STEP THREE: The Director will reply to your audition with any additional questions he may have. The Actor replies to the director in an IC , first person fashion.

STEP FOUR: If the Actor is accepted, he will be granted access to the Actor's lounge and be a full-fledged member of the studio. If he isn't accepted as-is, he must start as an Extra and work his way up to Actor status. Either way, you'll be able to play the game - so don't worry too much if you have to start out at the very bottom rung. That's show biz, kids!
