#4 was the most helpful for me. I know I thought that screwing up an audition would be remembered. Good to know that it won't adversely affect my chances next time around.
Judging - that's their job! Love that. And the other comment I heard long ago that helps not to take "rejection" personally, is that you may have a great audition but physically you're simply not right for the part. In the meantime, keep honing your skills.
I’m currently working on #5…getting prepared for upcoming auditions, by observing how to handle interruptions because of living so closely to neighbors in a condominium community-unexpected noise, and timing issues of phone calls coming in, and running out of time for getting the video audition completed in time.
I think worries about being judged come when you think a lot about what casting director is going to say about you. From my experience, if you are narrow your focus to your character, his life, his thoughts, his presence in the scenes, his feelings, you’ll have no space in your head to worry about casting director judgements
It's like exercise. Would it be great if you had a trainer working with you every day designing the perfect workout for you? Sure. Would it also be awesome if you just moved your body in any way for a few minutes, regardless of having a specific program?...Hell yeah. Same with acting. Any amount of time you spend in the process of the craft of acting can help you...Know what I mean?
The last one stood out for me

Yes, so true!!!
#5 was helpful. As a procrastinator, I need to be doing this on a regular basis!!
Yes! Great awareness. The question is, what action can you take right now to help you create that practice?

💯!!!
I often wonder what are the things you can work on alone in acting that will help with your next audition. Like acting exercises or such.
