For many of you, this is your very first audition. Congratulations on taking the first step. In this audition you will be given a short commercial script and then will be put on camera in the studio followed by an interview with both the child and parent. Very informative information on the industry will be given. The John Robert Powers staff will make selections based on availability or opening in a type cast (based on age, height, hair color, eye color and ethnicity), industry knowledge, and questioning GPA (Grade Point Average).  Next you will be given a specific time to call the next day to find out the results of your audition. Warning: The staff is going to be very HONEST about the person's potential or NOT potential. This feedback is not to hurt anyone's feelings, but should be taken as constructive criticism. However, the most important thing to remember when auditioning is there is no right or wrong way to do it, just have FUN!! Bring your personality. Be Yourself!! We want to see YOU.
