What’s Your Audition Missing?
“I have found that a number of young actors and actors in the beginning of their careers get frustrated when they don’t book every audition,” says Master Teacher Claire Chubbuck of Chubbuck Youth Studios.
Producers, directors and a casting people are looking for the actor who is the character. Not the person who plays it the best. And this makes sense, given that they want an audience to get lost in the viewing of it, finding it a real and provocative experience. That’s not possible when there is that degree of separation between the character and the person portraying it.
Claire Chubbuck, Master Teacher at Ivana Chubbuck Youth, believes an important, but often ignored, component of an actor’s ability to secure roles is an awareness of themselves. Actors have to be hyper aware of who they are, not only regarding being great in their craft, but also in getting cast. In general, all people are limited to their life experiences, their epiphanies, age, socio-economic backgrounds and their personal explorations as human beings.
At Ivana Chubbuck Youth, teachers guide their young actors in their training to focus on being the best version of their type. The actor’s duty is to train and make themselves the best of what they are. Chubbuck says, “Whether it be auditions or the actual job itself, you must supply all the colors, all the dimensions, all the layers and texturing of who you are as it relates to the character on the page.”
