You're listening quality of this advice is a good place to start, I'll give it a couple of things to consider, however, because the space does not fully comprehensive, so consider this as a starting point.
Acting auditions can be divided into about three sections, preparation, performance and outcome. We'll look at the three that will give you enough ideas to do a bit more relaxed throughout the process.
PREPARATION
Preparation, like any job interview book will tell you, is essential.
First, do research as you can, whether the character is going to play, the director, the company or even the writer. It shows the thoroughness and dedication could be the deciding factor in their favor.
Second, make sure you know your monologue, I should have practiced aloud in front of a variety of people for the opinions as possible, you can not get a wide range of opinions that may be useful to you same record (video or audio), this gives you the opportunity to evaluate their own performance from a slightly different perspective.
Thirdly, know exactly where the location of the interview is, how long does it take to get there and arrive early. This allows you to relax and find somewhere to warm up.
You could be around for a long time so take a book, a little water and food or something like an iPod to keep you relaxed and occupied.
When the listening environment that pays dividends to be kind to everyone, remember, the actor today could be tomorrow's rival hot new director. This is not intimidated by hearing from other players with you, they will be as nervous as you. it may seem arrogant does not make him a better actor than you!
PERFORMANCE
First impressions count, so when you enter the audition room acting to be safe, positive and enjoyable. It may be useful to remember that these people ahead of you are on your side, I really want to be great! It's good to be as open and friendly as possible because you want the director wants to work with you personally and professionally and any advantage is an advantage.
Try to keep any questions you may have at a minimum, these are busy people and too many questions may be overly suggestive.
Your initial monologue should be no more than two minutes long, with other preparations, they must show their breadth and diversity, and also have a longer monologue prepared, just in case the Director requests it.
The director may ask you to re-read after the address, listening skills are important as well, in this moment it is better to ask questions that assume you know what the director wants, accepting direction also requires flexibility, so they do not stick too much for the same old way of reading done in the past.
THE RESULT
No article on acting audition tips would be complete without a word about the rejection.
As you have read that there are many ways you can improve your chances of getting a role, but most of the players have rejected most jobs most of the time. You can do all this and more and still miss, but should not take this as a comment on your ability. Simply indicates that the casting panel thought that one was more appropriate for that particular role at that particular time.
If you get called back for a second audition then well done. The same basic rules apply with some subtle touches that will have to wait for another article.
Thanks for taking the time to read my sound quality advice and I gave him a few things to think about.
