Audition prep: a simple checklist for the day before

Good auditions are mostly prepared, not improvised. A calm routine the day before makes the difference.

Know the material

Read the full brief, the role description and any sides twice. Note what the character wants in each scene.

Prepare your logistics

1. Confirm the time, address or video link
2. Charge your phone and check your internet
3. Pick an outfit that suggests the role without being a costume
4. Pack a printed headshot and a water bottle

Do a short run-through

Run the scene out loud, standing up, once with the lines and once without. Record yourself and watch one take back.

Protect your energy

Eat properly, sleep and keep the evening quiet. After the audition, you can track the result in My applications on Zaqtora, where status changes arrive as in-app alerts.
