The Twilight book series has borne a cult classic with the movie franchise.
So far, three films have already been released and the fourth book, Breaking Dawn, will be split into two films.
This gives you ample time to try to get to be cast in the final film! If you are a "Twihard," you can rest assured that the following tips may just help you launch your acting career by landing a role in the Twilight series.
The first thing that you need to know is that movie auditions are not like usual acting auditions.
For one, they are normally taped.
This is because the producers and directors rarely have time to attend the auditions so they will view the videos that have been shortlisted by the casting agents.
You need to make the most of your on camera acting skills to get at least a foot in the door.
The first thing you will need to do is find out if there are any casting calls in your area.
The best way to find this out is if you have an agent as they normally are in the loop.
If there is none in your area, do not give up.
Try to find out if there will be any in nearby towns or states.
If there are no casting calls, then there is no Twilight audition to attend.
Therefore, this is essential.
You need to do as much research about the Twilight movies and the books.
Read all the books written and if you can, try to get your hands on the screenplay.
You will notice that reading dialogue in a book is vastly different from the dialogue you will be expected to do at your audition.
If you know the name of the director, try to watch a few other films that they have done.
This will give you an idea on how he or she likes to direct their work.
Once you have found an area holding a casting call and you have done your research on the Twilight series, head over there to get your sides.
These can also be emailed to you if you have prior contact with the casting agents.
The term sides refers to the scenes that you will be expected to perform for your audition.
These sides are extracts from the screenplay that will be used for the film.
Ensure that you memorize all your lines.
Remember that this is a film audition so they need to catch your facial expressions and hand gestures on camera.
Reading from your sides will not enable you to do that and may cost you the audition.
You should never look straight at the camera! You are supposed to be looking natural so do not do anything that mat make you seem like an amateur.
Before you attend the audition, film yourself after you have memorized the words.
You will be shocked at how different you look or even sound.
This will help you correct any mistakes before you go on your casting call.
