  Midnight Eye review: Audition (1999)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Audition was based on a novel by Ryu Murakami, who - even though a number of his books haven been translated into English - is best known outside Japan as the director of the art house hit Tokyo Decadence (Topazu, 1991).
Despite the fact that it was originated by someone else, Audition's story of a middle-aged, widowed tv-producer's search for a bride through the means of a fake audition for young actresses, once again adheres to the Miike trademark of being both attractive and repellent, fascinating and disgusting.
During the audition scenes, he watches somewhat uncomfortably at the procession of young women parading in front of him, while his colleague, who suggested the idea of the audition to him, goes through it all without a hint of emotion.

 FuzzyCo: The Audition
I was in the last audition slot of the day, because I'd had to reschedule for some reason that I forget now.
The auditions were supposed to be in groups of three, but because it was the last slot, there were only two of us.
All of my auditions lately have been for improv shows, so I didn't have a monologue prepared (in fact, I don't think I've ever had a prepared monologue).

 Audition Central   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
For the professional, the audition committee is not hiring based on what potential for progress they estimate the candidate has; instead, it is a question of the potential to keep playing on the same high level or better for many years.
In a school audition the committee is trying to estimate potential for progress as an element of the package, but also in relation to where the applicant is now, i.e., for their age.
At the least the people on the audition committee have a very strong sense of pitch or they would not be where they are; be aware that someone on the audition committee may actually be watching a tuner to check the accuracy of pitch.

 The Audition
An audition is like a try-out for a sports team, but in the performing arts a try-out is called an audition.
At the audition the dancers may do some exercises that are taught to them on the spot, or they may do a dance combination that is taught to them on the spot, or they may be told to come with something already prepared.
After the audition, (sometimes several months after the audition), the dancers will be told if they were selected to be in the production and if they were, what role(s) they will be playing.

 THE AUDITION
An audition is a "test" or "trial" set up by someone to test the abilities of the talent.
Most auditions are set by appointment, so be sure you arrive fifteen minutes early, and expect to stay until you are seen.
Commercial auditions usually require a different acting "style" than movies or plays, and this fact is probably obvious to most of you reading this.

 Junior Theatre Publications: Parent Education Series: Helping Your Child Through the Audition Process
Auditioning, or “trying out,” for a play or musical is a big step in a child's theatre education.
Auditions help a director to select young actors that will become her/his “cast.” As a parent, you can help guide your child through this sometimes trying — but certainly rewarding — experience.
After the audition, you will have to wait to hear if your child is “called back.” A “Call Back” means that the director would like to see the child again, perhaps to have them sing something from the show, or to see them next to another actor.

 Audition Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
"Audition (Odishon)", which recently enjoyed a North American DVD release, is yet another example of the disturbing diversity found in the oeuvre of Miike.
Though "Audition" starts off quietly enough as a romantic melodrama with a hint of supernatural elements, it takes a sharp left turn and becomes a powerful and thought-provoking look at Japanese sexual politics, laced with unforgettable images that will leave you scarred for life.
With the help of a film producer friend, young actresses are brought in to audition for a non-existent film, in the hopes that Aoyama can find his ideal 'beautiful, classy, and obedient' woman among the candidates.

 Passing the Audition
Audition is relatively simple to use and intuitive enough for novice users, but there's far more to it than immediately meets the eye.
Audition is loaded with effects and processors, and a thorough exploration of the subject would require another entire article — the list of parameters is just too vast.
Audition has a variety of other features, such as automatic silence detection and deletion, tempo detection, scripting and batch-processing capability, and timed recording, whereby you can set the software like a VCR to begin recording at a specific time for a set period.

 The Audition Experience   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
When I first saw Gabriel’s posting to the salsa list about the open auditions, I daydreamed, “wouldn’t it be cool to kick butt in the auditions.” No sooner did that beautiful vision form than it vanished and I snapped back into reality.
I also had the bright idea of writing a column about the audition experience and emailed Gabriel to ask if he was open to the idea.
So, I figured it would be OK if I looked goofy, and I went into the audition with the goal of simply enjoying myself and the experience of a challenge.

 Audition / Odishon
On the day of the audition, Yoshikawa informs Aoyama that the sponsorship deal for the film has fallen through, and there won’t be enough money to carry on with the project, and yet they still decide to go through with it.
Audition is a disquieting tale of obsession and madness; Aoyama’s obsession with finding a perfect new wife and his ensuing new obsession with the person he believes would fit the rôle; and Asami’s obsession with her tragic and abusive past, which drives her to psychosis, utter insecurity and lunacy.
Add to that the fact that Asami’s stepfather gets off on causing pain and damage to her, and that the cycle of abuse has continued down through to her, a pattern of behaviour which is well-known in psychiatric theory; it’s not merely an act of revenge, it’s a learned behaviour.
