You just have to be willing to live with the fact that you didn’t even try.

Not only that but with each audition you go to that is more experience and a chance for you to practice and hone the skills that will make you stand out.
Netflix is a huge entertainment company that is only getting bigger as they continue to rise and expand; they are also rapidly gaining speed in the market with new viewers every year. They have new original series coming out every month; making the opportunities when working with them endless. If you are not sure that Netflix will be a good fit for you; take the time to do some research and read about the experiences of the current Cast Members already working for Netflix to help you better prepare yourself for your audition.
When preparing yourself for your first Netflix audition; it is good to remember that being on time for your audition is very important. You will only be given fifteen minutes of prep time before your audition and to also get your check in complete upon arrival. If you find that the location where the audition is being held is somewhere where you are not too familiar; make sure to give yourself plenty of travel time and allow for any hiccups in your travel time that may include getting stuck in traffic, car problems and or a traffic accident on your route.
The Netflix Casting Director runs the show so be sure to follow any directions received from the casting director. Though do make sure that you stay relaxed and remember to have fun. The room where they will hold the audition may seem a bit on the intimidating side at first. That is because they have the room literally set up to be tailored to the type of audition you are going into and auditions held by Netflix adhere to a very strict closed door policy. While having a good support system around you like family is great and all, they will be asked to sit in a designated waiting area as this audition is closed and they will not allow for anyone other than the actor to come back into the audition room in Greenville.
As part of the audition, Netflix may request that you perform a monologue for them. For a good reference if you are unfamiliar yet, a monologue is a speech that is directed towards another character rather than actually interacting with that character and usually performed without pause or interruption. It is good to have a monologue on hand for any audition you go to and this will also show the casting director that you take the audition process very seriously. It is always good to have a well rehearsed monologue or two on hand; one can be more dramatic in nature while the other more of a comedy. Make sure any monologues you do have on hand have been well practiced and well read; so you can perform them with ease and skill. It doesn’t help to take an acting class that will help you polish your skills and even help you find a monologue that fits your needs and skills. You can find many different acting schools in Greenville.
