Auditioning can be a nerve-wracking experience, but with the right preparation and mindset, you can increase your chances of acing the audition and securing a call back.
Firstly, it’s important to do your research on the production or project you are auditioning for. This includes familiarizing yourself with the script, the character you are auditioning for, and the tone and style of the production. This will help you tailor your audition to fit the specific requirements and expectations of the project.
Next, practice, practice, practice! Rehearse your lines, work on your delivery, and practice any songs or dances that may be required. The more comfortable and confident you are with your material, the better you will perform on the day of the audition.
In addition to practicing your performance, it’s important to also take care of your physical and mental wellbeing. Get enough rest, eat healthy, and exercise regularly to ensure you are in top condition for the audition.
When it comes to the audition itself, remember to stay present and focused. Take deep breaths and try to relax before entering the audition room. During the audition, make eye contact with the casting directors and show off your best performance. Don’t be afraid to take risks and make bold choices – this can set you apart from other auditionees and leave a lasting impression.
Lastly, after the audition, don’t forget to follow up with the casting directors or production team. Send a thank-you note or email expressing your gratitude for the opportunity to audition, and reiterate your interest in the project. This can show your professionalism and dedication, and may increase your chances of getting a call back.
Remember, auditioning is all about showcasing your talents and personality. With the right preparation and mindset, you can ace the audition and secure a call back for your dream role!

As a writer, it is important to be able to pitch your script to potential producers in an effective and compelling manner. Here are some tips on how to present your script to producers:
Practice your pitch: Before you meet with a producer, make sure you have your pitch down pat. Practice delivering your pitch out loud to a friend or family member so that you feel confident and prepared.
Keep it brief: Producers are busy people, so it’s important to keep your pitch short and to the point. Focus on the most important aspects of your script and keep the pitch to around 10 minutes or less.
Start with a hook: The beginning of your pitch should grab the producer’s attention and make them want to hear more. Start with a strong hook that highlights the unique and compelling elements of your story.
Know your audience: Before you pitch to a producer, do your research on their past projects and interests. This will help you tailor your pitch to their specific tastes and preferences.
Be open to feedback: Producers may have suggestions or ideas for how to tweak your script to make it more marketable or appealing to audiences. Be open to feedback and willing to work collaboratively with the producer to make your script the best it can be.
By following these tips, you’ll be better equipped to present your script to producers in a way that is engaging, concise, and effective. Good luck!
PressPlay Cinema, LLC, had the chance to speak with Nicholas Rice about his recent book with Nick Keller PREEMPTIVE STRIKE: Beyond Sight. We asked him, “what inspired you to write this book?”, Nicholas was kind to reply; “I had an idea for a new superhero that’s never been done before in 2019. I had a dream about one of the scenes in early 2020. I sat down and wrote the first draft of the script during the lockdown of 2020. I then met a WGA award winning writer who offers services of coverage and analysis on scripts. He was able to help me rewrite the script to where it was sellable.
We then put the script into development. While we were shopping the script, I met a novelist by the name of Nick Keller. He had 15 novels published to his name at the time. I asked him to read the script to get his thoughts. He read it, and he liked it. We came to an agreement for him to ghost write our script into a novel. He did such a great job that we offered him co writer.
Nick Keller turned our 100 page script into a 400 page, 85000 word and 43 chapter novel.
The novel was launched on September 1st of 2022. We hit best seller on day one beating out titles like the terminal list, lord of the rings and one of the newest Star Wars story’s. On day 5 we hit number one best seller in one of our categories.
We did such a good job with our gorilla marketing tactic that Nick and I decided to start our own publishing company called N2Books. We’ve released a total of 3 books including preemptive strike. All have hit best seller and number one new release.
5 months later, I was finally able to finish recording the audio book which just recently hit number one new release and best seller in all of our categories, and only one spot away from hitting number one best seller!
While I was recording the audiobook, we got connected to a production services company called Moving Pictures Media Group. They have a 100% conversation rate of getting films to funding. They only take on films they like. They read our script and loved it. Titles they have done in the past include Black Hawk Down, Cowboys and Aliens, Kill Bill one and two, and Men In Black.
MPMG owns the third largest comic book company in the world! Third only to marvel and DC called Platinum Studios. Platinum has accepted our script to become three installments of a graphic novel! This week will be a big week for us. We are about to secure our development funds to get started with MPMG!”
We then asked him how does he feel about those amazing news? Which he replied; “I’m pretty excited about all it. But I’m not celebrating until the money for the movie is in the bank!”, and we believe that is reasonable, because art is work!
