ETIQUETTE TIPS AND ADVICE FOR ACTORS AND THE FILM INDUSTRY: Rosalinda Oropeza Randall, Etiquette Expert, Author, Actor/Actríz
HOW TO READ AN AUDITION ROOM, GREEN ROOM, FILM SET
Keep in mind that everyone has a different, and sometimes unique process to prepare for an audition, a final take, or a live appearance. This may include religious or superstitious rituals, using specific items, or standing in a certain place.
I, for example, have a different process to prepare when I conduct an etiquette-related presentation than when I am going live on television. However, space and lack of privacy can dictate and force me to adjust my process. But isn’t that like life?

Tips and Advice on How to Read an Audition Room, Green Room and Film Set:
- It is important to recognize and respect all individuals who are present. Don’t stare, inquire, or make suggestions.
- If someone in the room seems stand-offish, please don’t take it personally. And certainly, don’t take it as a challenge to make them feel comfortable.
- Once an individual greets you or returns your greeting, and then disengages eye contact, accept that social cue as a polite signal that says, “Please leave me alone now.”
- If you need space, to ease everyone’s mind and not come across as anti-social, you may consider: a) Greeting everyone b) Making brief small talk, then retreating. In this industry, it is wise and advantages to make a connection with others.
- Excuse yourself by briefly saying that you have a ritual or need to concentrate on your lines/key points. And wish everyone good luck.
