How to gain confidence in casting auditions

Well, here is what I recommend for casting auditions, and it's funny because I am writing it but I'm also reminding it to myself, writing for you guys on the subway on my way to a casting audition for a film.

So here we go... A lot of it has to do with money, and what do I mean by that? You need a private coach you trust and that you have chemistry with. Working on your acting monologues and cold readings you need to have a third eye, if you can't afford it get a graduated acting student who will follow your acting work and process. Next, a really significant part in an acting audition is confidence, the feeling of "I know what I'm doing and I am the one who's got everything it takes to get the part" is absolutely important!

For casting, relaxation is a huge part of being confident, everyone has his own way of working on relaxation (yoga , meditation, dance and ex...)

Moving on to the technical things about casting auditions: Make sure that your make-up is natural, and what you wear doesn't make you look older unless that is what the role requires. Watch your weight in a healthy way, and exercise. Everything of course with balance. I know it takes a lot to be an actor, but you can make it ! Think positive!
