How to Win Your Next Audition | Tips From a Casting Director

[@melissarogers4890]

I have absolutely no interest in acting but this interview was incredibly educational. It also helped me to really appreciate the craft of acting and the hard work behind it. Thank you!

[@bryannabatts]

I hear her speak on Clubhouse all the time and her advice is always so beautiful 🤩

[@JanelyAlvarez]

This woman is incredible. I’m a fellow Latina, and I dream to work with such authentically passionate creators like her. Wow, just wow. My respect to you señorita Del Valle.

[@HaleyMary]

I love your tip on taking improv classes. I have a tough time acting a skit or scene that I haven't written out and pre-planned and I think looking into improv classes would be beneficial to me. Thanks!

[@RamonemCena]

She was really amazing! I was vibrating with her words! God bless, thank you!

[@luisvelez8096]

This video is a gem. I'm an actor and I just would like to say thank you so much for doing this interview. Very informative and helpful. I'll be sure to execute all these tips in my next audition.

[@sharonspeer418]

I can 100% see why that commercial director wanted to work with you all the time! You are an amazing breath of fresh air and I see your light shining. I better go put my sunglasses on...Thank you!😎💜

[@margueritebaca3921]

Thank you for sharing so generously and expressing your empathy for the auditioning actors.

[@donniequinn5418]

I throughly enjoyed and learned from all your comments. You are a most photogenic young lady. Why are you not still in front of the camera? Crazy as it may sound, at 75 years old I was selected to go to an artist showcase. I had never auditioned before …but took my 13 year old granddaughter to a random call and “got a while hair” to read a commercial ! They choose both of us! I’ve always been “the Funny Girl”…quick with a come back…but this time I was struck dumb! I’m neck deep in it and scared out of my skin. Too much …too late for this ‘Ol lady! Certainly don’t want to disappoint the kind folks who are giving me this chance. Watching you and others will hopefully help… Thank you Ms. Donnie Quinn (Martha)

Awesome presentation, Elaine. I loved your content. I studied with Wynn, as well. He was so wonderful. I hope to get to meet you someday soon!

[@moniquehorton8794]

This is by far some of the best advice given in a generous way. Thank you.

[@WalkAMile]

I resonated and learned a lot watching this video. Thanks so much!

[@EnglishmanInDallas]

This was a very good use of my time. Fantastic.

[@rose-artbyme-newbery]

Thank you, I never been in audition yet. Still going in the classes to get training. Perhaps, maybe next year I’m ready! Thank you for your guidance.

[@cdeprume]

Such a lovely CD! Thank you for sharing your heart! I wonder if auditions will ever go back to being in person. I miss interacting!

[@FisicalEduc]

Gracias. Es refrescante atender este tutorial pues he tenido la suerte por casualidad de participar en algunas producciones comerciales por casualidad y la verdad lo disfruto pero me sentí perdido a la hora de los castings y los self tapes. Ahora que he considerado hacerlo “en serio” es de gran ayuda estos consejos y más si viene de alguien latino que se hizo camino en producciones norteamericanas.

[@GeoffEdwards]

This was such a nice surprise. Thank you!

[@yunusquddusofficialactor]

Thank you so much it was so inspiring and I so needed to hear this today to continue to push forward forward In the stream and the smart form. You you are by far one of my favorite guests to guest to listen to

[@pavelkrasnov5978]

Thank you 🙏 What are those online platforms where actors can do the auditioning practice for each other that she mentions?

[@lenarichardson7334]

Thank you Elaine this has been illuminating and also reinforces the fact that I am on the right road.

[@IRApaintings]

[@louisemaciulevicius7006]

This lady is AMAZING !!!

[@SkiPlayLiveTV]

I hope to audition for you and collaborate one day! We almost had our chance but the timing was off.

[@zuzokuhlendumndum9502]

I deeply loathe the whole self tape experience. Especially when I’m by myself and I have to go start the recording myself first. Really. I just hate it. It makes me want to cry cz I never seem to get out of my own head with a cell phone placed in front of my face. And most of the time I never even end up sending the audition tape. Id prefer in person auditions any day Bcz then….it’s as if a light goes on immediately in me. I am at my best when I’m under pressure. Not when my environment is telling me it won’t be all over if you make a mistake- you can go another round-you have all the time in the world.

[@freddylrobinson888]
