Broadway Play Audition Callbacks

Video Transcript

"In this clip on how to audition for a Broadway play, I'm going to talk about "Callbacks". What's a callback? A callback is something you want very, very much, a callback is when they a call you, your manager or your agent and they say "You did a great job and we'd love to have you come in again". They might say, they might mail you email you some more sides some more scripts to learn. They might say we're going to put you, you know, we're going to have you read these sides with other, you know with the character you would be acting against. If you were in a romantic roll you're the girl and they want to see you with the guy that you'd be having a romance with. You have to keep in mind that a lot of time they don't so many casting directors have told me this, they don't always take the best audition. Hey, you got to do your best but you know you're not going to get hired if you do badly but they take the person who has the right look. The right look, the right chemistry with the other with your co-actor the actors you'll be working with. I mean if they've already cast three blonds and two brunettes you know that they need a redhead, it doesn't matter how amazing you are if you're a brunette you're gone, you're out of it. So the callbacks are, you go you do your best an it's often how you look and whether you fit into the show."
