I always like to be playing something different and feel like I'm broadening my horizons. The fact that I was having to learn a southern accent for this latest audition was very exciting to me. It's so different from the real me, and it's something I've never had to do before.<br /><br />I used to always play a lot of "bad girl" or villain types, but it seems like over the last few years I've started to get cast in more typical leading lady, heroine type roles. Although MOST recently, I've definitely played a couple edgy or less-than-good characters. I tend to prefer those, I guess. I think they are a bit more fun. ;) But in general, I like characters with depth, levels, and a good range of emotion within the film. <br /><br />I'd love to play something where I'm forced to drastically change my appearance. I always get a kick out of that kind of thing.Jennifer of Deviant Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211038161228751021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860598872721378815.post-53718948092262323252011-11-15T11:39:28.834-06:002011-11-15T11:39:28.834-06:00That's a great question.

I don't like to fully "dress the part" or look like I'm arriving in costume, but if I'm playing a rugged, casual type girl, then I'm not going to show up in a pencil skirt and heels, you know? But, if I was auditioning for a sexy secretary, I would. <br /><br />I think it's important to look professional, show off "YOU", and then have a hint of the character's general attitude, as well. You also want to show off your body type without being too revealing (once again, professionalism is key). So, it can actually be a hard task finding just the right outfit. <br /><br />I'm not a super uptight person, so I don't want to come across that way at an audition, even though I want to be taken seriously as an actor. So, a pretty typical outfit for me would be dark skinny jeans (grey or dark denim), a tank top with some color (something that feels very "me"), with a fitted black blazer or other professional type jacket on top. Then, I'll either do sleek boots, simple heels, or flats, depending on the type of audition. If I'm not playing a character who would wear heels, I'll opt for flats. <br /><br />At my audition yesterday, I wore a pair of casual grey dress-pants (that sounds like a contradiction...I hope that makes sense), a grey ribbed tank top, and flats. I left my hair wild and wavy and did natural, yet pretty make up. I felt my character was more rugged than my typical self, a tad athletic, but still attractive. The outfit was simple, showed off my body type, and was simple enough/casual enough/professional enough to where it would allow the director and casting director to picture me in various ways. A blazer just didn't feel right for this typical audition.<br />Was this outfit a wise choice? I still have yet to find out, haha, but I just try to go with my instincts.Jennifer of Deviant Tarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211038161228751021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860598872721378815.post-8843585677760439422011-11-14T21:57:43.332-06:002011-11-14T21:57:43.332-06:00Just out of curiosity, what do you typically wear ...Just out of curiosity, what do you typically wear to an audition?
