Drama Term Tuesday #40

Auditioning

Method of casting a play where actors compete for roles by demonstrating their skills of acting by performing a prepared speech or reading a part from the play for directors or producers. There are different types of auditions; open auditions (where a general call is made to anyone interested in auditioning - sometimes referred to as a cattle call); closed auditions (where auditionees are invited to attend often through the agent representing them); group auditions; solo auditions; workshop auditions.
