This type of auditioning is also popular with talent shows. A time is allotted to each candidate, who performs based on his prior practice. This type of auditioning will also require the organizer to set up audition accompaniments. For example, if auditioning for a musical event the organizer will require setting up musical accompaniments like microphone, drummers, stereo, supply amps, etc.

This is like a walk-in interview. The venue, time and the nature of an audition are announced, rather advertised.

This type of auditioning is organized when many extras are required, or community support for the movie is needed. Many acting auditions in Los Angeles conduct open call auditions.

Open call is sometimes also referred to as a cattle call for obvious reasons.

Directors and producers, when meeting an actor for the first time usually prefer auditioning by appointment. In this case, they would have already gone through the actor’s resume, reel submissions and headshots. They would have already found the actor suitable for the role, and want to see him read the actual script, how well he molds and fits the role. In auditioning by appointment, both parties respect each other’s time.

This type of auditioning does not list the venue and time. Only the nature of the audition is advertised along with a phone number for contact. For example, acting audition in NYC for the role of supporting actor in a series may decide to advertise for the audition with the role description and contact number.

When contacted, the organizer shares the time and venue. This type of audition is more organized. It provides better visibility into the total number of candidates expected. This is also less expensive and keeps the sundry crowd away.

Callbacks are necessary when deciding a candidate for a role among many. It may involve several rounds of auditioning or callbacks, usually four to five are sufficient.

Actors know about this and understand. Every callback involves reading supplementary scenes from the script.

This type of auditioning involves reading a script that an artist has never seen before. In reality, this type of audition is seldom organized

In short, the artist performs ad hoc based on the immediate understanding of the script and the situation explained by the director or organizer.

This process is useful in getting the lead role candidate followed by its supporting roles. Callback auditions are often very interesting as experienced actors bring the script to life. It may also give a better twist or perspective to the existing script. In the event that it is done, it gives the director an idea into how an artist will look and sound in a particular role or what interpretation of the script they bring on board. In such cases, it is best to be yourself.
