Pilot season is always crazy because you audition for a million things, and really, in the end, it's not up to you. ~ Janina Gavankar
Audition quotes by Janina Gavankar
Bekka treated her role has Frankenstein's bride more like an audition to be Brett's bride. Every part of her body had been colored bright kelly green - even parts that her mother had stressed were 'not to be seen by anyone except God and the inside of a toilet bowl.' Instead of wearing a wig, Bekka had teased and then shellacked her own hair into a windblown cone and she'd used female-mustache bleach to create white streaks. Her seams, made of real suture thread, had been attached to her neck and wrists with clear double-sided costume tape because drawing them on with kohl would not have been 'honoring the character.' Her Costume Castle dress had been exchanged for something 'more authentic' from the Bridal Barn. If Brett didn't see his future in her heavily black-shadowed eyes tonight, he never would. Or so she believed. ~ Lisi Harrison
Audition quotes by Lisi Harrison
When you go out and audition, you're going to hear a lot of 'No's.' As weird as it may sound, you almost have to love hearing 'no' because you're going to hear it way more than you hear 'yes'. ~ Jay Ellis
Audition quotes by Jay Ellis
My mom thought I might be good for voiceover. She thought I had a cute voice, so maybe I could do a cartoon or something. And while we were looking into that, we also thought I should get into theater acting, so I tried it and the first audition I went on, I booked it. And it kind of just snowballed from there. ~ Atticus Shaffer
Audition quotes by Atticus Shaffer
I give myself homework when I have an audition. I give myself goals, and that's how I check how I'm doing. It can be something simple like 'listen,' or 'find your feet.' And then afterward it's an assessment, so in a way it's not about booking the job or not. It's about what I learned as an actor about that character. ~ Lupita Nyong'o
Audition quotes by Lupita Nyong'o
When I graduated from high school, I had artistic and academic scholarships, and I was trying to figure out what to do. I decided to audition for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, Juilliard and the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Sydney, Australia. ~ Deborah Kara Unger
Audition quotes by Deborah Kara Unger
When my agent told me I had an audition for 'Friar Tuck,' I burst out laughing. It actually brought a bit of sunshine to my day. I was thinking: fat suit. I was thinking: shaving my head. It was so outlandish, such a crazy idea. ~ David Harewood
Audition quotes by David Harewood
I met an agent through my modeling agency who encouraged me to go out and audition for sitcoms, and I was absolutely petrified because I had no desire to do it. ~ Robin Wright
Audition quotes by Robin Wright
I have been a fan of Dexter since the pilot. Once I got the audition I just squealed, and you would have thought I just won 45 million dollars. ~ Aimee Garcia
Audition quotes by Aimee Garcia
If you're with one person, then you don't have to meet other people. It's like when you're acting in a movie, you don't have to audition for other movies. I prefer that. ~ Greta Gerwig
Audition quotes by Greta Gerwig
I had been working predominantly and steadily as a dancer, so after awhile, you don't have to audition. I was just in that world, and I had certain goals I wanted to reach, but I definitely always wanted to keep going and challenge myself and become an actor. ~ Kenny Wormald
Audition quotes by Kenny Wormald
I've wanted to be an actor since I was 6 years old. I was literally picked off the streets of Paris ... while I was modeling there. I was asked to audition for Oliver Stone's 'Alexander.' I didn't get the part, but that led to commercials and roles in South Africa. ~ Tanit Phoenix
Audition quotes by Tanit Phoenix
It can't be overstated how wonderful it is not to have to audition any more. Any actor will tell you, it's like Christmas. ~ Bill Nighy
Audition quotes by Bill Nighy
There was a period that black film had no chance of making it in Hollywood. So, people just made the made the statements that they wanted to make. Whether it was a science fiction film or whatever, b/c they were just making movie for themselves. Then there was a period where people were creating projects as their Hollywood audition 'pieces'. I feel that today we are moving back to the era where we all have our own voices. ~ Reginald Hudlin
Audition quotes by Reginald Hudlin
As movies and TV projects come up, they go out to the agents, and we just go out and audition for them. ~ James Frain
Audition quotes by James Frain
I am a man who used to wear the tights. We traveled the country doing two Shakespeare plays for bored college students for about a year. I think I'd probably still be doing it now if I hadn't just randomly decided to go to a sketch group audition. That led to doing improv, which led to the Daily Show. But it was fun while it lasted. ~ Rob Corddry
Audition quotes by Rob Corddry
Two more women sat, ready to judge her. She thought of all the times she'd imagined her audition for Juilliard. The people in front of her were not Juilliard professors, but ~ Diane Chamberlain
Audition quotes by Diane Chamberlain
When 'The Pacific' came around, I had to audition the old-fashioned way. It was the casting director and then the producer and then another producer and another producer and then Spielberg and Hanks. ~ Joseph Mazzello
Audition quotes by Joseph Mazzello
I came to New York with two bags, my guitar and my laptop. I set my stuff down and immediately ran to an audition. ~ Ciara Renee
Audition quotes by Ciara Renee
My education was doing good plays and also stinkers. When you do a stinker, you learn how to act. I like having to audition. It's nice to do rehearsals. But it's with an audience that you get to love it! ~ Jeffrey Tambor
Audition quotes by Jeffrey Tambor
I think our sense as actors of what we've just done - whether or not it be in an audition - is usually really not connected to any truth. I'm always asking for more takes and more goes. I think I just need to shut up and listen. ~ Lily James
Audition quotes by Lily James
Years ago, I did a CBS audition. I was nervous. They introduced me as 'Scott Bakoola.' Not a good sign. I also didn't get the show. ~ Scott Bakula
Audition quotes by Scott Bakula
Getting some time away to be active, work out, do yoga is definitely a necessity in life. These activities help me relieve stress and center my mind when I'm playing the waiting game after an audition. ~ Allen Evangelista
Audition quotes by Allen Evangelista
I was 14 years old. I did an audition for extra work as an actor, with two lines. Suddenly I was auditioning for a bigger role, and then got a part on a Portuguese TV series at age 15. My whole life changed completely. ~ Diogo Morgado
Audition quotes by Diogo Morgado
No I didn't audition, I didn't even know David Lynch till the week before I started the film. ~ Richard Farnsworth
Audition quotes by Richard Farnsworth
I was really nervous. Even when I left the audition I was nervous. ~ Rupert Grint
Audition quotes by Rupert Grint
When you get to the point where you know the material so well and you know the character so well that you can just sort of play off of whoever your reader is - that's the best feeling at an audition. ~ Laura Spencer
Audition quotes by Laura Spencer
The funny thing is that making a pilot is sort of an audition, at least for me. There's something psychological there, where you're sort of asking for the job while you're acting. And then when it's been picked up, it's a completely different psychological dynamic. ~ Justin Kirk
Audition quotes by Justin Kirk
After my last audition for 'Game of Thrones,' they said, 'Congratulations, princess.' I was like, 'Bye-bye, call centre.' ~ Emilia Clarke
Audition quotes by Emilia Clarke
'Donnie Darko' was my first audition ever! It opened my eyes to the possibilities within camera work. ~ Jolene Purdy
Audition quotes by Jolene Purdy
Addicts don't like when you tell them they are all the same. Of course not. Who would? But to me, addicts are like actresses, who all audition for the same role in a horror movie. It doesn't matter how they got to the audition. It doesn't matter how or where they grew up, once they get to the audition, all the actresses act in the same way and read the same lines. They all become the same character. ~ Oliver Markus
Audition quotes by Oliver Markus
I once used henna to dye my hair brown for an audition, thinking I was being clever as it's all natural. ~ Sienna Miller
Audition quotes by Sienna Miller
I have found that so many directors and producers in the room say nothing, and this can be deadly. It's very difficult to audition for comedy in the vacuum of a small room, but it's the only way most do it. ~ Allison Jones
Audition quotes by Allison Jones
Occasionally I will audition for a big overseas movie, but that's it. ~ Nicole Trunfio
Audition quotes by Nicole Trunfio
The reality of our business is that for every actor who's rolled up his tent and given up and gone home, the next day you hear about some shoe salesman at Macy's who had this audition and now he's Harrison Ford. There's always that carrot out there in our business. ~ Scott Bakula
Audition quotes by Scott Bakula
I used to audition for musicals when I was in New York before I moved to L.A., but I couldn't quite hit a certain note, so I saw a teacher in L. A. who helped me get better at it. She showed me how to use a different part of my voice. You are never too old. ~ Missi Pyle
Audition quotes by Missi Pyle
I like to audition for good projects because if it's a good project, it's an opportunity to get in front of a casting director. ~ Krysten Ritter
Audition quotes by Krysten Ritter
If you go for an audition, you have a character description, and for the women, it's always about being beautiful, sexy. And for the men it's more about the character than how he appears physically. That annoys me. ~ Birgitte Hjort Sorensen
Audition quotes by Birgitte Hjort Sorensen
Along the way, I've worked as a waitress, I've done phone surveys, and worked as a receptionist, and for the last twenty years I've taught. When I was an actor, the key was to find a job that kept your days free to audition. ~ Debra Dean
Audition quotes by Debra Dean
At the audition, your assignment is to find something new in the song. Something you've never noticed before. A breath carried over, a thought that ties the whole thing together. Then take the risk and do it. ~ Pete Seeger
Audition quotes by Pete Seeger
I've had so many bad auditions! I tell people all the time, there's differences, what makes an audition good or what makes an audition bad. Sometimes you're just off, and there's not a whole lot you can do about it. ~ Jessie Usher
Audition quotes by Jessie Usher
Before recording my 'Homeland' audition on my iPhone in my bedroom in Streatham, I hadn't worked or had an audition in the U.K. for nine months. ~ David Harewood
Audition quotes by David Harewood
I had this job at Hollywood Video, and during my worst audition ever, I forgot all of my lines in front of Chuck Lorre at the callback for the 'Mike and Molly' pilot. ~ Lamorne Morris
Audition quotes by Lamorne Morris
I'm petite, only 5 feet tall, so occasionally I'd get an audition for a small person. But small people and little people are technically different. ~ Naomi Grossman
Audition quotes by Naomi Grossman
Quite honestly I never had a desire to be an actor. I tell people, I did not choose acting; acting chose me. I never grew up wanting to be an actor. I wanted to play football. In about 9th grade an English teacher told me I had a talent to act. He said I should audition for a performing arts high school so I did on a whim. I got accepted. ~ Ving Rhames
Audition quotes by Ving Rhames
Leonardo is the most incredible actor, on the planet, with a couple of people alongside him. Getting to act with him is just [amazing]. I walked away from my audition for that and I couldn't believe that I'd been acting with him. I've worked with amazing people, but my friends freak out that I'm working with him. I freak out in a geeky acting way. They freak out in a starstruck way. He's Leonardo DiCaprio, and his fame is so big. That's a complete tangent about that. ~ Carey Mulligan
Audition quotes by Carey Mulligan
I really loved to sing all the time, and I was constantly entertaining. Finally, my dad saw an article in the local newspaper in Phoenix, and it was for a children's theater, an audition for 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.' ~ Kimiko Glenn
Audition quotes by Kimiko Glenn
See, some people politely encourage their tone-deaf friends to sing. Some people even convince them to go on live television and audition for national competitions. But me? I am not that friend. ~ Sarah Ockler
Audition quotes by Sarah Ockler
'Dawson's Creek' was my introduction to the industry. It put some money in my pocket and it put me in the position I wanted to be in, where I could audition for projects that I wanted to be a part of. I didn't find it creatively fulfilling in any way, though. Working with artists excites me, but 'Dawson's Creek' didn't do that. ~ Michael Pitt
Audition quotes by Michael Pitt
I can go back to my very first movie, Thirteen, and think about that exact moment when I saw Nikki Reed and Evan Rachel Wood do their chemistry read audition together. It just came alive. I was filming it with a video camera and I was like, "I know I can make a good movie now." ~ Catherine Hardwicke
Audition quotes by Catherine Hardwicke
Certain roles, I just won't invest in. I'll go in and audition, but I might not spend five hours trying to figure out what the character is really about or go so deep into it. I might just learn the lines and go in and try my best because I know it's not safe for me to love the character or to fall in love with the idea of the role. ~ Madeline Zima
Audition quotes by Madeline Zima
A great band name would be Tickling Whiskers. Especially if the lead singer is a cat. I'd love to audition for backup dancer. ~ Jarod Kintz
Audition quotes by Jarod Kintz
Whenever I get an audition to do something that is sci-fi-related, it makes me really happy because I realize that I can continue doing the work that I'm doing and continue meeting people all over the world. It does baffle my management team sometimes, though! ~ J. August Richards
Audition quotes by J. August Richards
Sometimes I think I missed out on things like travelling. I'd have been terrified of missing an audition. I didn't start a family because that's not something I take lightly. Acting meant so much to me. ~ Brendan Coyle
Audition quotes by Brendan Coyle
Directing is a reactionary job more than a creation job. The job is to react whether it's moment one, the first time you read the script or see an article or read a book or notice something happen on the street and have an idea for a movie, and it just continues from there on in. You're just reacting to dialogue, a performance, an audition, a headache, a piece of furniture, a piece of clothing. ~ Jason Reitman
Audition quotes by Jason Reitman
There was recently a story out that I turned down a role in a major franchise. That's not true. I refused to audition for it. I didn't get the part. I didn't even go in because I thought that the part was just a repackaged version of the parts I played before in these young adult films - sort of moody, masculine, but sensitive and all this kind of thing. It was just a repackaged, rather dull thing. ~ Max Irons
Audition quotes by Max Irons
I think we all understand disappointing yourself. Especially in the acting profession, which is probably similar to a political career, even the most stable, head-on-straight person is still going to be confronted with doing something that they shouldn't, that could affect their job or cause them not to be at their best - even if it's something as simple as taking a red eye for an audition at 6 a.m. the next morning and you know you'll be dragging. ~ Corey Stoll
Audition quotes by Corey Stoll
You go for an audition, and you meet a director, and you find that they don't want you. You have to have a pull with them: that they understand what you want to bring to it. That you don't want to be the pretty little thing. ~ Neve McIntosh
Audition quotes by Neve McIntosh
I feel like every time I walk into the audition room, they can tell if you're faking it and if your heart's really not with it. So I try to keep it as real as possible. ~ Jennifer Damiano
Audition quotes by Jennifer Damiano
I never solicited myself as a singer until I realized I could use that to a musical standpoint. I loved musicals growing up. Classic films were some of the only ones I watched. So when the opportunity came for the show to audition, of course it was all of a sudden, "I sing! I sing! Send me in, please. I beg of you." ~ Dianna Agron
Audition quotes by Dianna Agron
Jameson, the teacher who ran drama club, would call her name any minute to audition for the lead role! That ~ Callie Barkley
Audition quotes by Callie Barkley
So I told my mum that I'd opened a theatre. She said, "Are you having me on?" I said, "Well I'll give you an audition, but I'm not promising you anything." ~ Tim Vine
Audition quotes by Tim Vine
That's the best way to audition for anything: When your back-up plan is your dream, you know? ~ David Lee
Audition quotes by David Lee
When I was 16 years old, I joined a drama group called North Queensland Academy of Dramatic Art under a woman called Maggie Shephard-King. She inspired me to audition for the role of Romeo in 'Romeo and Juliet.' ~ Brenton Thwaites
Audition quotes by Brenton Thwaites
I'm not good at Disney acting. I'm really not. I never was on that audition list, which I don't mind. I don't know. I look back, and I'm kind of wiping my forehead at the thought of, 'What if I had gone that route?' ~ Morgan Saylor
Audition quotes by Morgan Saylor
I went into the 'Idol' audition with no expectations; that's just the kind of person I am. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't hurt so badly, you know? But once I made it past the first round, and the second, and third - I started to realize, 'Maybe my goals and dreams really are attainable.' ~ Crystal Bowersox
Audition quotes by Crystal Bowersox
I was horribly shy all through grade school and high school. But somehow I got up the nerve to audition for one play in high school - 'Auntie Mame.' I got a small part as the fiancee who comes on in the end. I got laughs. I wasn't shy at all doing the part. I can do anything on stage and write it off as a character. ~ Laurie Metcalf
Audition quotes by Laurie Metcalf
I feel like a lot of times when you get signed to an agent they just send you everywhere, so I still audition for a lot for voiceover stuff. I actually don't book a lot of it, and I love doing it so I get disappointed because I want to do more voice stuff. ~ Jonathan Lipnicki
Audition quotes by Jonathan Lipnicki
I started to write before I went to SUNY Purchase music conservatory. As an audition I submitted what I now think are really awful songs, but I guess they saw something in them. ~ Regina Spektor
Audition quotes by Regina Spektor
Every season I teach zombie school. The casting people in Georgia look for like 200 new recruits. They come in in groups of 20, and I audition them and grade them based on their look and their performance ability. ~ Gregory Nicotero
Audition quotes by Gregory Nicotero
He's going to audition for the Vienna Boys' Choir! ~ Gorilla Monsoon
Audition quotes by Gorilla Monsoon
I have hair that I audition with, my sitcom hair which is a curly wig. I have my long chic hair that I wear to my son's school so they know I'm not playing around. I always tell people that my husband gets a different woman every night when I come home from 'The View.' Hair makes you feel a certain way, like putting a power suit on. ~ Sherri Shepherd
Audition quotes by Sherri Shepherd
Every audition that I walk out of where I think I nailed it, I never get that job, ever. ~ Sophie Turner
Audition quotes by Sophie Turner
In the States, you have a little bit of freedom to audition for different kinds of roles. ~ John Boyega
Audition quotes by John Boyega
I believe this: If an actor wants a role or wants to work with somebody, then you do everything within reason to try to get that role. If they want you to audition, you audition. If they want you to screen-test, you screen-test. If they want you to come and tap-dance in their hallway, you tap-dance in their hallway. ~ Kevin Spacey
Audition quotes by Kevin Spacey
I couldn't even get an audition for network TV at home in Ireland. ~ Jack Reynor
Audition quotes by Jack Reynor
My mom had an audition for a commercial when I was about two and a half, and I ran in crying and interrupted her. They thought I was cute so they offered me a commercial role. My mom was skeptical and a bit nervous about the child actor thing, but I was extremely bossy and convinced them I wanted to try it. ~ Mae Whitman
Audition quotes by Mae Whitman
'Girls' was my first audition. I'd just taken an audition class, and I was excited to implement those tools. ~ Allison Williams
Audition quotes by Allison Williams
Being an actor is definitely not about sitting around on set and having a cigarette or something. It's about acting. The more you can audition, then that's the best thing ever because you learn so much and you get your face out there and you grow your confidence. ~ Erika Christensen
Audition quotes by Erika Christensen
I was your typical struggling actress. I went to every audition, took a million acting, dancing and singing lessons and spent years wondering where my next meal was coming from. ~ Cassandra Peterson
Audition quotes by Cassandra Peterson
I have had the auditioning process go on for two weeks or three weeks. I am always incredibly anxious. The audition and the wait is definitely the hardest part for me. ~ Joe Lando
Audition quotes by Joe Lando
I think especially older people, and I count myself one, in the business - people get to know who you really are. So there comes a time when you can't just go in and audition without everybody knowing exactly how you've brought up your kids, what you said at the meeting, what kind of food you cook. ~ Mimi Kennedy
Audition quotes by Mimi Kennedy
You have to read scripts and audition and develop relationships. It takes a long time to develop a body of work but over the last 25 years I guess I've done that many movies. In hindsight it may seem effortless, but there's a lot of work that goes into it. ~ Harry Connick, Jr.
Audition quotes by Harry Connick, Jr.
If it's a good audition, whether or not I think I'm going to get the part, I do always say yes to going. ~ Krysten Ritter
Audition quotes by Krysten Ritter
That's where the theatre of dreams is, over in L.A.; it's the land of opportunity for actors, and to go over there with a good team behind you and have a part you want to audition for really makes it a joy. ~ Luke Pasqualino
Audition quotes by Luke Pasqualino
I had started acting when I was 7, and I was always wrong. I would always get to the very end [of the audition], but I wasn't a perfect package of one thing. I wasn't a cliche, and it always worked against me. I wasn't pretty enough to play the popular girl, I wasn't mousy enough to be the mousy girl. Then there was a TV show that Toni Collette was starring in. And when a role to play a girl who was struggling with identity came, I thought: "Oh, this is what I was supposed to do. Everything's leading up to this moment." I was 18. I was like, "This is it." I didn't get it. And I was devastated. ~ Brie Larson
Audition quotes by Brie Larson
When I was 20 years old, my mom flew me for my first Broadway audition for 'The Color Purple,' and I only found out about it because I knew that Fantasia was in it, and so I went online to ActorsEquity.com. I was not a part of the union, but I flew there for the audition, and the next week I made my Broadway debut! ~ Todrick Hall
Audition quotes by Todrick Hall
For instance: years into the future the building where X Factor is filmed could be a house. The residents may witness the spectre of Simon Cowell saying "That's possibly the worst audition I've ever seen," over and over again. ~ Pippa Franks
Audition quotes by Pippa Franks
I emceed in metro Detroit throughout college, and even when I moved to New York, I would actually fly back on a Friday, emcee on a Saturday, and fly back on Sunday so that I could audition during the week. It was a big part of my life. ~ James Wolk
Audition quotes by James Wolk
I remember being unemployed and walking the East Village streets for many years, constantly checking my voice mail on pay phones, hoping for an audition. ~ Rainn Wilson
Audition quotes by Rainn Wilson
The very first audition, you just go in and sing. The second one, they give you this sort of cheapy, Walmart-looking puppet - before they give you the $6,500 'Avenue Q' puppet. ~ Rob McClure
Audition quotes by Rob McClure
However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable. ~ Claire Danes
Audition quotes by Claire Danes
I went through the natural process that most actors go through. I brought myself out here, had an audition on a Wednesday; then had a call-back on Thursday, had a call-back on Friday and I had it by Friday afternoon. ~ Sean Mahon
Audition quotes by Sean Mahon
Being a writer is so great because you're literally not dependent on anybody. Whereas, as an actor, you have to audition or wait for somebody else to make a decision about how to use you, with writing, you can do it anywhere, anytime you want. You don't have to ask permission. ~ Sam Shepard
Audition quotes by Sam Shepard
No matter what, people don't think of me for glamorous parts. I'll go to an audition or a meeting in a pretty dress, and they still think of me as depressed or embattled. Hopefully, that will change. ~ Viola Davis
Audition quotes by Viola Davis
Bruce Norris came in twice to audition for 'The Corrections' and subsequently spent many months negotiating every point in a four-year agreement to appear in the show. ~ Scott Rudin
Audition quotes by Scott Rudin
I saw Tom Cruise at every audition I went up for, and he was a friendly go-getter back then. You gotta remember, in New York I would go up for something, I would sit, and in the room would be Matthew Modine, Matthew Broderick, Andrew McCarthy, Tom Cruise, and Kevin Bacon. ~ Zach Galligan
Audition quotes by Zach Galligan
I told my agents that I didn't want to go on the audition. But as that was happening I called my mom, who has been watching the show from the beginning, and my mom said, 'It's the coolest show. You have to go.' ~ Mary Lynn Rajskub
Audition quotes by Mary Lynn Rajskub
'Fresh' was maybe the third audition that I had after I got an agent, so I was crazy excited when I booked it. ~ Guillermo Diaz
Audition quotes by Guillermo Diaz
I was a football player at college and dislocated my thumb. I was out for a bit and passed the theatre and saw some lovely drama students walking into an audition for 'Much Ado About Nothing' and thought: 'That's what I'll do when I recover.' I joined that production and was hooked. ~ Clark Gregg
Audition quotes by Clark Gregg
