Putting all your energy in your socks.

When you prepare your audition put your energy into the acting.

Under pressure you can wish that by dressing perfectly you’ll get the part. And that includes – both literally and figuratively – your socks.

How you dress, your hair, are all important. Make the decisions based on the show and the scene and make them quickly and decisively. 

You don’t want to be second-guessing what you wore or how you did your hair nor comparing any of that to the other actors auditioning.

That only causes doubt.

Let how you look support your audition. You should like what you choose. That’s important.

Avoid wearing something you can’t support. An actress once went to an audition wearing a see-through dress and was so self-conscious she was trying to hide the whole time. 

Put your energy into the playing of the situation. 

Leave your socks inside your shoes.
