One of the things that really helped me was to quit worrying about whether or not I got the gig. So often, acting jobs are awarded based on things you have NO control over. So, I started going to auditions with a specific goal of my own to accomplish; a new accent, a physical characteristic, etc. Always within the confines of what was requested by the casting director (well... not always within the confines-sometimes it feels good to break all the rules--but don't count on getting the gig when you flaunt all convention). With my own goals in mind, I could always walk away from an audition with a win regardless of who got the part.

See, the main thing in performance is ur confidence and if it's under, or over....it spoils it. So to make an audition, just keep urself in a situation where you were confident to deal with in real life. Then analyse that situation, why you were so much confident. It may be your preparation, or mood, or need, or desire, or a responsibility...or may be it is a sense of giving ness. And with same base try to think of your audition scene . Every thing else will take care of it self

Through consistent practice, you'll achieve perfection. Rehearse with your friends as your audience, and choose a character that appeals to you or them. Seek their advice on how to enhance your performance. As time goes by, your confidence will soar, making you well-prepared for your upcoming audition.

Hi Ryan,first your confidence,be free within the environment and keep an eye contact to whoever is auditioning you. Be prepared and once you get there naturally it flows
Don’t keep eye contact, look over their head. If you keep eye contact, it will make them uncomfortable, and give them a bad experience with your performance.
