Fighting For the Acting Part – Knowing Your Competition at the Audition

When auditioning for any role it is vital to know the strengths and weaknesses of your competition.

Since the majority of an actor’s efforts are is spent auditioning for work, it is important to spend some time investigating who your opposition is for each particular role. You should know that your main rival is aggressive, somewhat mean-spirited and has a chip on his shoulder. And though they haven’t thoroughly prepared for the audition they do have a sense of self-entitlement when it comes to landing that part. So who is this person? To quote the cartoonist Walt Kelly, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”
