DON'T do these things at an AUDITION! Noooooo!

[@archimedesjericho6900]

i apologized after an audition a year ago and im still kicking myself for it

[@AngiePattersonYT]

You have to let that go! They most likely don't even remember that it happened. Just learn from it and move forward.

[@starrprincessshow]

Thank you your tips they were very helpful. My daughter Starr has her first audition on sat. I watched a lot of videos on do and don’t and your video was my favorite.

[@SuperSass907]

I like that you get right to the point and don't have an intro or outro.....it sets you apart and I can't stop binging these videos....thank you!

[@SymonSaysTV]

"Don’t apologize" should always be the rule, even on set. Or don’t beat yourself up for messing up. It’s totally amateur. Assume yourself like a pro. Always better to laugh at yourself and ask to do it again. Thanks for mentioning.

[@toddcorley464]

you are putting out great content.thanks for the advice!

[@jamkasssjjsksks632]

[@hartwlil012]

Very helpful Thank you

[@andyfieldmagic]

Can you give some tips on how an extra should conduct themselves on a movie set?

[@AngiePattersonYT]

I can definitely do a video on background work!

[@AngiePattersonYT]

New video on Background Acting is up! :)

[@RichardWrightFirth]

Listen to the ADs and don’t ask the actors how much they’re getting paid!

[@GloEstella555]

These are actually funny and of course very helpful.

[@KeishannaMichele]

Love this s/n I audited a class in North Hollywood last month and it was a work audit... The guy they paired me with tried to kiss me... ugh it was sooooo awkward.

[@AngiePattersonYT]

Ew. Who are these people??

[@michellemarie1197]

Do you have a video on television acting vs theater acting?

[@AngiePattersonYT]

No, but that is something you'd learn in a class. The base of those two acting mediums is the same, but just projection/delivery is different.

[@thedoneeye]

Crazy story.....One time I auditioned for a police training video as a guy who waved a gun around. Turned out that he *wanted* them to shoot him so he could commit suicide. When I got there and checked in, everyone was introduced and then they handed me a prop. A Mac-10 submachine gun. A REAL ONE!! Don't worry it was cleared and locked so no danger but still, a super soaker or something equally innocuous would've worked just fine!

[@Vale-gv5uv]

love this! love your videos! they are really helpful. i would like you to make a video about how to start working on your acting career when you are in middle/ high school

[@AngiePattersonYT]

Hi Vale! Thanks so much! Here's a video about acting classes. That's really the first step in your career. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3KTmqRrj854d6M

[@Kevintendo]

Amazing video!! What is a “side”?? “Work on your sides” / “you can use your sides”

[@AngiePattersonYT]

Sides are the printed pages of your audition material - your lines. :)

[@Kevintendo]

@@AngiePattersonYT oooooooo makes sense!!! Thank you so much ❤️

[@faizansheikh3580]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful!

[@Imannnikaa]

Don’t be sick Finn wolfhard auditioned for stranger things when he was sick and got the role

[@marshaedwards379]

Wasn't it a video audition and didn't actually go in

[@aspenvalentim]

it was a self tape

[@shaundstone]

Hi I really liked your video, it was very down to earth and full of commonsense advice and quite funny as well! I'm a London based actor, cheers Angie 👍

[@andrewmass1414]

Enjoyed the information. I am thinking of coming back to LA to be an actor. I have been doing theater in New England. Great information presented in a funny and friendly manner. Thanks. Nothing more difficult than going on auditions in LA. I always used to think of what I should have done in the car afterwards. Call backs are worse because you were close but did not get chosen.

[@AngiePattersonYT]

At least with a callback, you know you got close! But yes, it's all hard haha. :)

[@kristinadlamini175]

Your advice is great and you’re really funny😂💖

[@girijagopimv4802]

Thankyou for the great tips have a Great day :)

[@SetGozo]

Nice to know, I am not an actor actress but very informative.

[@italianG03]

Great list!!

[@bananabrianna6360]

I love your videos!!! I'm so glad you did this audition tips video, I have an audition in march for a summer program. Do you have any tips on finding and memorizing monologues also script analysis?

[@AngiePattersonYT]

I'll be doing a video on memorization hacks soon!

[@andyfieldmagic]

Angie Patterson Cool. Try not to forget !!!

[@kaylalovestosleep]

Thank you! Your videos are very helpful 😊

[@slickswim5224]

I forgot to breath. And I was shaking so bad. That was my first audition and before I could match pitch. I remember showing all my friends my terrible audition. Oh the cringe!

[@charltonallen7646]

Yep, yep, yep, aaaand yep did all of those.

[@AngiePattersonYT]

Me too, twice for each thing.

[@gbritto98]

What's the difference between supporting and principle actors?

[@AngiePattersonYT]

Hey Ginny! I believe they're very similar in most cases. For example in commercials, even if you're "supporting," as long as you actually auditioned for the job you're still a "principle." You'll get paid the same as the people who are more featured (if this is a union job).

[@zeelife6518]

thank you!!!! so helpful!

[@viktoriaa_28]

your videos are so helpful!!! thanks a lot :)

[@benfactor]

You look like you could easily do some modeling.

[@booksandauthorsindependenttv]

Very interesting vlogs. I'm using your information not to move to LA, but to fact check what would be my 5th romance novel about a British aspiring actress who moves to Los Angeles to find a place, a job and to fulfill her dreams as an actress. Exciting! Thank you.

[@AngiePattersonYT]

Love it!

[@kristen_perry002]

I have a question. Do you want to walk in to the audition room being your character or yourself?

[@AngiePattersonYT]

Hey Kristen! Great question... people (both actors and casting directors) have different opinions on this. I say it's a case by case basis - meaning it depends on a few factors like the size of the role, the actual character, etc.

[@ellak.8600]

no no no no no. do not walk in as character. most tv characters are jerks, stupid, or drug addicts. they might think that you are actually like that and they would HATE to work with someone like that

[@edgarshoe]

ew! (the tongue part). GREAT advice though! thanks!

[@plus2001]

I've been asked to do a self tape and answer "why should we hire you?" How would you go about answering this?

[@AngiePattersonYT]

I would tell them the ways that you connect with this character and why you want to play it.

[@plus2001]

@@AngiePattersonYT thanks! Xx

[@michelletsenti]

Also try not to get too nervous cuz that happened to me and I messed up😂

[@AngiePattersonYT]

Nerves are always gonna be there, even for big successful actors! No one loves auditioning haha. Best thing to do is acknowledge and embrace the nerves and work with them instead of trying to ignore them.

[@michelletsenti]

Angie Patterson sry🥺

Be your authentic self that’s what I’m hearing. Leave the gi mics at home

No you don't. YOU are amazing!
