🎙️ Voice Actors! These are important questions to ask yourself when auditioning.
These are Uta Hagen’s 9 Questions, and they can be such a helpful tool for getting more specific with your character, understanding the scene, and making stronger choices in your audition.
I’ve definitely found these helpful in my own process, so I wanted to share them with you!
🎭 Uta Hagen’s 9 Questions
1. Who am I?
Find all the personal details about your character: name, age, physical traits, family, education, beliefs, likes, fears, etc.
2. What time is it?
Find the exact year, season, day, and even minute. Understand why this particular time matters to the scene.
3. Where am I?
Find the country, city, building, room, and even the exact spot in the room where you are.
4. What surrounds me?
Notice the weather, objects, landscape, other people, and everything else around you.
5. What are the given circumstances?
Understand the past, present, and future events that affect the scene.
6. What are my relationships?
Look at how you connect to the other people, objects, and events in the scene.
7. What do I want?
Find your main goal or objective for the scene. What are you trying to get?
8. What is in my way?
Identify the obstacles or problems standing between you and what you want.
9. What do I do to get what I want?
What actions or tactics do you use to achieve your objective?
🎙️ Save this for your next audition and give these questions a try! Sometimes the more specific you get in your preparation, the more freedom you have once you start performing.
