Casting is a great chance to rise one step higher and get closer to your cherished dream. However, in order to successfully pass it, you need to gather all your strength, prepare in advance and try to show all your merits.
Castings: organizational moments
In order not to get nervous and behave confidently at the casting, you should know a few organizational points. Before signing up for it, send your resume to the casting organizers and attach some of your best photos taken by a professional photographer to it. If your portfolio is posted on the Internet, include a link to your page in the letter. After you are invited to the casting, find out more from the administrator about the upcoming work in order to know exactly what to prepare for.
Next, set yourself up mentally for the next course of events. Once at the casting, you must be psychologically and physically prepared for a large crowd of people and many hours of waiting.
Castings often take place in a specially equipped room. And your main task is not to get confused at the sight of cameras, the selection committee and other necessary elements of this kind of interview.
Be prepared for a variety of provocative and professional questions. In addition to psychological preparation, there are a number of requirements, the knowledge of which will help you successfully pass the casting.
Basic requirements for a successful casting
The first condition for successful casting is presentable appearance. You need to look confident and well-groomed. For this type of interview, it is best to wear whatever clothes you feel most comfortable in. Most of these qualifying events do not require a strict dress code. Therefore, any style of clothing is suitable, from classics to casual (casual wear), depending on the topic of the casting.
Psychologists advise against wearing uncomfortable clothes and shoes that press or chafe at the casting, as your attention should be focused only on the interview. Also, give up bright makeup and manicure.
In addition, if your goal is not just to participate, but to win, you should prepare well in advance. If this is a creative casting, rehearse at home several variations of numbers that can show and reveal all your talents. In the event of a failure of one number, you will quickly provide another, more winning one.
The third condition for successful casting is public speaking skills, as well as the ability to present oneself. Prepare a story about yourself. Try to make it bright and interesting. After 3 minutes of talking about yourself, you may hear a popular casting question about your negative and positive qualities. To create a good impression of yourself, in no case say that you have no negative qualities. Such an answer will indicate a lack of critical thinking and will call into question your adequacy.
Also think in advance about the answer to the question "How are you different from others?" Rehearse your speech in front of the mirror and try to fill your words with positivity and vitality. Your speech should breathe strength, confidence and a great desire to improve yourself. Believe in yourself, and if something goes wrong, just smile. A smile works wonders!
