- f) Demonstration
of range and contrast. At each successive
level of the audition-- as it journeys from the
preliminary to the final round-- the actor
is expected to show increasing degrees of range
and contrast. In the preliminary round the actor
will be evaluated primarily on the range and
variety of choices within a single scene. In the
semi-final round, the actor will be expected to
demonstrate range and contrast in the material
they select to perform as well as the choices
they make within each scene. In the final round,
the actor is expected to present three selections
that demonstrate the broadest possible range and
contrast.
This criteria has been
developed to ensure that the actor demonstrates some
ability in the craft of acting in addition to
native talent, charisma and stage presence, and
selecting material that enables the actor to demonstrate
a genuine understanding of craft is strongly encouraged.
