The Callback-Part 2- Bold Choices

Sometimes you only have one shot. One chance to read, one chance to sing, one chance to dance. Make the most of of it. How do you do that?

• First - What is your objective? Always first and foremost what do you want?
• How are you going to get it? Tactics! These will lead you to bold choices.
• MAKE A BOLD CHOICE - go for it!
• Has the director given you any direction? Told you what she's going for?
• If yes - do it - try to give her/him what they want
• If no- it's up to you. They want to see you interpret the role. If you've done your research this is easier - because you have already thought of choices, maybe even tried them out. At home, while you prepping. Read previous blog posts. Just saying.
• Listen to your scene partner
• React to your scene partner
• Give to your scene partner
• Take from your scene partner - what they are giving you.
• Remember when it's not just about you, the scene is better.
• When you are pursing an objective, the scene is better.
• Don't push
• Have fun.

Have you made a strong, definitive, bold choice rooted in emotional honesty? Then no matter what the outcome - you just had a good callback!
