Dressing for an Audition
- Decide several days before the audition what impression you plan to make.
- Think of the role for which you will audition, and consider clothing that complements the character. Wear clothing that makes you feel confident and attractive.
- Choose all clothing that you plan to wear, down to small details like socks, and make sure it is clean and ready.
- Think about hair products, makeup and accessories that you plan to use.
- Do not dress in costume unless specifically asked to do so by the casting director. Rather, wear clothing suggestive of the role.
- Bring a change of clothes with you in case you arrive and discover that what you are wearing is inappropriate. Leave the clothes in the car, if possible.
- Wear comfortable shoes.
- If you believe that special attire is necessary for the audition, discuss that with the casting assistant in advance.
- In general, keep it simple. The use of props at an audition is not recommended, as they are considered distracting by most casting directors. However, if you are requested to bring props, prepare them in advance.
- Do not wear things that are uncomfortable or distracting to you or others. You want the casting director to focus on you, not your clothing.
