What is audition tracking and why should I do it?
Audition tracking is the practice of logging your audition experiences. This data allows you to look back and recall the interactions and experiences from the previous audition when you receive a call back! It is also a great way to reflect on what areas you are consistant and competative, and what areas can use some work.
- Recall experiences for callbacks
Knowing that the audition process can take some time to complete, having easy access to your previous audition history means you can put your best foot forward for your follow up auditions! Recalling what you did in the room, what they asked you to do, who was in the room, even simply how you felt about the audition from months earlier will help you to make an excellent second impression. - Reflection and continual growth
Taking some time to regularly review your previous successful and unsuccessful auditions may help give you focus on areas for continual professional growth. You may have logged feedback from a casting director that they really loved your character portrayal, or perhaps they gave you some additional direction. Reflecting back regularly will allow you to notice these and other aspects, as well as how you feel about them, allowing you to challenge yourself and become even more competative.
‘My Actor Life’ allows you to track all the aspects of your auditions in one easy to use place, and then search your auditions for the important information you need to succeed.
