Video Transcript

"I am Dr. Charles Grimes and I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village about how to deal with the day of your theatrical audition. Now that we have talked about how to rehearse a monologue, how to figure out the text, and how to survive, the nasty trustful audition, let's think about the fact that you really aren't done quite yet. You are on a journey, you are trying to keep yourself being better and better and better with this monologue. You want to remember to keep on practicing all the time. You may think it is done, and you are perfect and it is all been done, but there is always more to find, there is always more to discover. It is really your job in your craft as an actor to keep practicing all the time. You want to inculcate good habits, good work habits in yourself. That makes you a confident actor, it makes you someone who they want to hire. So, keep practicing all the time, keep making yourself get better and better. Ask friends for help, analyze your performance. It is your duty to yourself and you might say to your art to keep on practicing all the time, so make yourself do it."
