"Hi, on behalf of expertvillage.com I'm Lori Wyman from Lori Wyman Casting in North Miami Beach, Florida and today we're going to talk to you about to prepare for on camera auditions. Another important aspect of the preparation for your audition is not to bring any additional people or animals to your audition. Animals you say? Yes, I have had actors bring dogs, cats, monkeys, gerbles, lizards, the list goes on and on you can't believe. But you are here to audition for a project and so is everyone else. When somebody brings a crying baby or somebody brings a barking dog, this disrupts the entire room. If you have to bring one additional person and if that person, as in it's a baby or a dog starts to bark or cry at least be respectful with everybody else in the waiting room and take them outside until you can calm them down."
