This first volume in the new series is different from other audition books in that it addresses the needs of both actors who are auditioning and directors who are conducting the auditions. The STAGE DIRECTIONS Guide to Auditions covers such topics as steps to a successful audition, preparing for auditions, audition procedures, auditions and attitude, audition warning signs, tips for holding auditions, clues for callbacks, making monologues memorable, tips for sight readings, publicizing auditions, and much more!
