KEEP IT SIMPLE

The trick to the major objective is to realize the answers are in the script. You just have to find the right questions. Since the major beat change and the major objective are connected, and you have already determined what the major beat change is, just ask yourself, “What could my character want, based on the major beat change moment?” Keep it simple and direct. Do not make it complicated by including things that are not in the script. If, while preparing an audition for either of these characters, you decide that the major objective is to buy a car, or to get the other to apologize or say “I love you,” then you’ve chosen something that is really not in the script. It is in your head. We can’t see what is in your head. My thinking? Do what is in the script—only, do it very well. Many actors suggest that you need to make big, interesting choices to stand out. I disagree. When actors think and work that way, their choices appear odd or at the very least misplaced. The audition comes across like an actor trying to make something out of something that is not there. I say, take what is on the page and do it very specifically and very well. Do the little things well.
