When You Read For More Than One Character
Jun 19th, 2009 by Alan Yu
So I submitted myself for a film that was advertised in the casting workbook and based on the breakdown it looked like there were potentially two characters that I was interested in reading for. Sure enough, they replied back that they would arrange an audition time and would provide the sides for at least two characters.
I always find auditioning for two different characters to be little strange as you tend to focus on one more than the other. Interestingly enough, because of this sometimes you tend to try and do too much with one character while being more relaxed with the other one. Ironically, the one that you spent less time with ended up being better.
Another thing that was interesting was that the people mentioned that the audition times would be for about 15 minutes which I thought was incredibly long compared to other auditions. Guess they want to be thorough with their choices.
