AUDITION AFTER CARE

#Lemon8Partner

Auditioning is difficult! I have come to find that having a set routine can make things a little easier.

Here’s what I like to do post audition:

HYDRATE

I try to drink at least an entire liter. On audition days, it’s likely that I’ve spent the entire day leading up to my appointment running through my material, so in order to keep my energy up, and my body feeling healthy, I have to be a bit of stickler about my water intake.

CHOW DOWN

Most auditions for me are after breakfast, but before lunch, so I always like to eat something right after. Sometimes it’s a full meal, other times, it’s my go-to salty snackie from a convenience store if I’m on the go for the day. It helps me keep my energy up and I also just love eating so it’s a burst of serotonin.

DEBRIEF

Like I said, auditioning is hard! As a performer, you hear “no” a lot, and being vulnerable in those audition rooms can start to take a toll on you. I like to chat with my friends about it all went, good or bad. It’s just a way to talk about whatever happened in that room and then let it go with the wind! (Then prep for the next one ;)

Thanks for reading! Happy auditioning.
