My most memorable audition experience have to be for WARRIOR. I’ve never had such an open and collaborative audition and that really set the tone for my experience on this show and the reason for me wanting to do it. It wasn’t like any other audition in the past. Casting reached out to my team to see if I would be interested in auditioning. I first had a Skype meeting with Jonathan Tropper, the creator. Where we spoke about character and her arc throughout the season. I was able to share my thoughts on her history and ask questions that you really don’t get to ask until you’ve booked the part and are in pre-production. But it was after the initial meeting where I only had one day to prep everything and send in my tape. It was the most intense 24 hours. I remember staying up all night reading the pilot. After making the deadline and submitting my tape, I figured I’d have the weekend to sleep it off and ultimately let go of the audition. I have a tendency of getting attached to roles and characters that I fall in love with and of course, most times it doesn’t work out. But the next day I was told I’d have a meeting with the director and two days after that I booked the role. It was a whirlwind of an experience to say the least. I try to do as much research going into each audition. I am a Virgo so the more prepared I am, the more confident I feel walking into the room. Usually I’ll research the era and see what kind of rights women had at the time. I’d figure out what kind of education my character would have, family history and create my own back story of who this woman is. I have a very short list of roles that I know I don’t want to play. Other than that, my team send me whatever it is that fits my description. I read a lot of scripts. From there, I find characters that I either relate to or would love to embody and then hopefully go in the room for! – www.abookof.us/nextchapters/dianne-doan
