It’s that time of year again: the few months when networks are casting their future shows, the ones that might get picked up and be on television for years. So it makes sense that every actor I know put a lot of time and attention into pilot season. They come out to L.A. from all parts of the world with the hopes of getting cast on a pilot.
If you’re one of those actors, here are 10 tips to help you survive pilot season.
1. Confidence is everything.No matter how many auditions you get for pilots, the main thing is to maintain your confidence. This starts with confidence in who are as a person, and continues to who you are as an actor. No matter what happens in the audition, whether you get a callback or not, maintain a confident and winning attitude with a twinkle in your eye. People like to work with people who are sure of themselves and bring positive energy to the set.
2. Be extra prepared.This may seem like no brainer, but getting picked up in a series could be career-changing. Don’t leave it to chance. Work on making sure you know your lines and that you can deliver them without being stuck in the page. It’s totally fine to hold your sides in your first auditions, but know your lines
