ABSTRACT

How rampant are mistakes in theatre school auditions. They happen at every step. The recruiters, taken with one attribute that’s useful for an actor – how somebody looks, or their excitability and emotionality, or their spontaneity and childlike naïveté, or their charm, or something else – decide that the examinees are talented. The naturally gifted youths think the same thing about themselves. But this is a woeful mistake.
