Whether for an audition or for something else, I usually try to meditate and visualize what I want to achieve. I try to picture it in my mind very clearly and try to feel that I already have the part. It's kind of like practicing the role even before you get it! However, you don't only have to research the director's preferences as you mentioned. I remember auditioning for a role simply because I wanted to have a really good role in the project. I was supposed to sing a song so I just memorized the song. I know I sang the song very well. However, I did not know that the other person going for the part was a very close friend of the director. I put myself in a position just for them to say there was at least someone who also vied for that role. The tips you mentioned are good but I have another one.

My friend Anna, has been auditioning for movie roles for the past months and at first she had a hard time taking the nerves off but then as time passed by she was able to overcome it. I asked her what her secret was and then she told me that it's all about going through the same process again and again that it seemed like she was the only person standing there in front of the director and no one else was watching her perform but herself. Her explanation was quite vague and so I tried to ponder it in my mind and after reading this article, I actually understood her point. Go there try your best and imagine like you're facing in front of the mirror the only person you should satisfy and be amazed FIRST is not that person judging in front of you but the person you see in the mirror, yourself.

There is much tension especially when you are in front of the jurors. You will be screened and given comments, whether it may be good or bad you should always be prepared to the possible words that would burst from the mouth of the jurors. But there could be possible ways to lessen the tension; I can't say to relieve it because we can never avoid such feeling. First is to know why we think there could be tension. Most often it is because of fear. Fear to be judge and fear to be neglected. Before the time of audition we should always bear in mind that whenever there is fear we can never achieve what we desire. We should overcome fear beforehand in order for us to have a state of mind to pursue what we aspire. So that when the time has come we can face the jurors with head held high showing our full confidence. Revealing to them the talent we've got according to their criteria.
