An Actor must make sure that their professional life doesn’t take over their personal life. For instance, it’s easy to spend an entire week learning lines or otherwise preparing for a role to the exclusion of their other day-to-day needs until their meeting or audition has happened. They may also spend considerable energy and time waiting for that phone call from their Agent or Manager about a potential callback or offer. An audition consists of reading sides for a scene and performing for a Casting Director and/or Casting Associate. In some cases, a Producer and/or the Director may also be present for the audition. Especially in the post-Covid era, though, creating self-tapes has become a popular and convenient alternative to in-person auditions.
