A live comedic performer knows what it\u2019s like to jump without a safety net, adjust when things go wrong, and be 100 percent comfortable creating something in the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re also used to working through distractions. When you\u2019ve told jokes over people ordering their two-drink minimum on a weird first date, or a Tuesday night where no one wants to be there, a little audition chaos isn\u2019t going to throw you off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we go any farther, it\u2019s also important to say that comedians aren\u2019t perfect, and can certainly stand to learn from traditional acting approaches. That\u2019s because comedians can sometimes treat auditions like a stand-up set; chasing punchlines, going too big, or waiting for laughs from two exhausted casting directors sitting behind a tiny table while looking at headshots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I first started auditioning, I thought the reason I wasn\u2019t booking was because I needed to say my lines louder. That was my entire strategy: just add volume. I was like, \u201cYou know what this audition needs? More yelling.\u201d I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ve ever seen someone yell their way through a Burger King audition, but I can confirm, it doesn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Making It Their Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the greatest advantages comedians bring into an audition is their ability to make the material feel like their own. Comedians aren\u2019t afraid to adjust phrasing, shift intonation and play with the rhythm of a scene instead of locking into one \u201ccorrect\u201d way to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also means not being overly precious or completely glued to the script, which can make auditions feel robotic or automated. Comedians add life by respecting the writing while still exploring the edges of it. They often do this by adding buttons and tags, those small, original moments that give a character a unique voice or perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best time to do this is typically at the end of a scene, where a subtle look, a throwaway line or a slightly unexpected reaction can elevate the moment and make it more memorable. This doesn\u2019t have to be limited to broad comedy either. It can work just as effectively in a more grounded way in dramas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Telling the Truth <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter what your training is, the goal of any great scene is to tell the truth. Fortunately, comedians are some of the best BS detectors out there. Because of their acute and often skeptical perspective, they\u2019re able to quickly pick up on what feels real and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That instinct helps them cut through surface-level choices and tap into the underlying truth and subtext of a scene. For example, in a scene where a couple is fighting over the bill at a restaurant, a comedian will usually clock what\u2019s really going on immediately: \u201cShe doesn\u2019t care about the bill, she just wants to leave this guy. And honestly\u2026 who can blame her? He\u2019s wearing jorts.<strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Everything Is a Punchline<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Comedians also know that all performances build to a payoff. So even if material is dense, heavy or extremely dramatic, they understand the importance of building to moments that lead to a big payoff. In the same way you lean into the setup of tension in a joke, this allows you to trust the tension in the build of a scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This training is massively important because it allows you to know when to really turn up the intensity or dial it back. They also understand timing, so they tend to know the ideal time to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Being Ok With Failure\/Risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is arguably the most important. As a comedian, bombing isn\u2019t optional. It\u2019s a rite of passage. Every comedian (especially stand-ups) has experienced silence louder than a tumbleweed. But, they kept going anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because of that, comedians tend to have a higher tolerance for risk, and for stepping into unknown territory in auditions and scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In acting, that might look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trying a totally wild and different angle in a scene<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Letting a moment breathe longer than expected<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making a bold or unexpected choice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stepping outside the material, either by changing it or going someplace no one else would.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This willingness to take these risks can completely separate you from other actors, and at the very least, you\u2019ll feel more alive and actually have fun, which is kind of the whole point anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a reason casting directors love comedians: they\u2019re unpredictable, adaptable and comfortable in uncertainty.
