"Which part are you reading for?"

"Thank you, Mr. Mulvaney, but what we're really looking for is someone with talent."

Presenter Auditions.

"Any previous experience, Mr. Crusoe?"

'They all want to play the star.'

THEATRICAL AGENCY, 'We have an opening to do some commercials - How'd you like to be the LEAST interesting man in the world?'

"Sorry, I meant to say "good luck", not "break a leg"..."

"Wow - great chops! We took a vote and want you in the band. All that we need now are three letters of reference and academic transcripts."

"An actor, you say? Guess you caught the acting-like-a-waiter bug."

"I'm sorry, we're looking for the voice of a spunky animated turnip and your reading is more fruit than vegetable if you understand what I mean."

Ballet Audition. I think I've just witnessed the pollution of Swan Lake.

"This isn't his audition...he's telling us about being an actor."

"Remember, you're a 17-year old fashion model. Now go out and act like you've never acted before."

'Congratulations. All but one of you has been short listed.'

"This is a blind audition, right?"

'To be honest Mr Gregson, I've seen better escapologists, goodnight.'

She's a natural.

"This could be fun! Don't you do magic tricks, Cruz?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen that move - Show me something new! Inflatable air dancer tryouts.
