All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts. His acts being seven ages…so wrote William Shakespeare in his play As You Like It.
Professional actors go for auditions. Each audition is an opportunity to flaunt our talent, skills and abilities. A role, commercial, or part is bagged when one is successful in crossing the hurdles found in each audition.
What is an audition? It is a trial hearing given to a singer, actor, or other performer to test his/her suitability for employment, professional training, or competition (think of America’s Got Talent). It is usually a reading or other simplified rendering of a theatrical work, performed before a potential backer or producer.
In other words, it is a test. It is also a selection and recruitment process. Can you recall the job interview you last had, where you landed your current job?
Do you face each day as an audition?
Master-coin magician David Roth shared that he once got into a Burger King television commercial despite having small hands. In his hands, the burger looked much larger. So, size does not matter – talent does. Roth has beautiful hands, as he performs wonderful magic with coins.
So, how do you audition each day when you are work? Do you know your lines as a customer-service professional? Do you look you best when you arrive at work? Are you the consummate professional? Do you fully express your capabilities at work? Can you imagine that it is your first day at work?
