<h1>Secret #2: Acting Tip for your Audition Success</h1>

by Leanne Mauro

<div align=justify>Do you wonder why some actors keep getting all the TVC’s and you don’t? Well I’m going to give you an acting tip so that that actor is YOU! Television commercials have 30 seconds to grab a viewer’s attention and get their message across and the quickest and most powerful way to do this is VISUALLY. Let me share with you a powerful acting tip that will give you that edge in your acting audition. Your Appearance! Acting Tip: Ask yourself how would this person or character dress in this situation? The way you present yourself in YOUR audition is very important. The way you dress for the role could be the final clincher to make or break you. You want to give yourself the best chance of visually fitting the role. The minute that audition tape is turned on you want the director, producer, advertising agency and even more importantly the CLIENT to see the character. Think about how this character would dress for the role. Think about how they would dress in this situation. I auditioned for the role of a bride once, so I borrowed my sister-in-laws veil, wore a bridesmaids dress I had that was plain enough to pass as a make-do wedding dress, borrowed some silver shoes from my best friend. Did my hair and make-up how I imagined they would do it on the day. Now would I ever dress like this on my wedding day? No way! But it’s the closest I could get to look like a bride so that the minute the DIRECTOR turned on the tape he saw a bride not an actor. The director and producer both commented on how great they thought it was that I put some effort into my audition and that a lot of the ‘other girls came looking like they’d literally got out of bed’ (for the role of a bride!!!!). Do you think that’s going to get them the part? Who are they going to remember, the one that came dressed as a bride or the scruffy looking people? Did I feel embarrassed in the waiting room with all the other girls looking at me in my make-do brides outfit? Hell yes. But am I embarrassed about it now? No because I used this acting tip and got the role. Acting is big kids dress ups, have fun and stay true to your character. Please note that great acting starts by what is going on on the inside of the character and then the outside appearance is just the icing on the cake. Use this acting tip as the icing. Cake always tastes better with icing right? To your acting success Leanne Mauro </div>
