Auditor List

Read what auditors of past Unified General Auditions have to say about it...

Q - What are you looking for at these auditions?
Jody Feldman (Alliance Theatre) - "I’m basically looking for actors who interest me enough to want to spend more time with them."
Jon Goldstein (ART Station) - "First, looking for actors new to Atlanta, then quality of talent, then types and abilities, then specific parts for upcoming shows."

Q - What can you tell about an actor in two minutes?
Mira Hirsch (Former AD of Jewish Theatre of the South) - "Most everything. I can see if they have training, presence, likeability, technique, naturalism. I can determine if they are enjoyable to watch, if they are engaging, if they can convey something true and believable. I know within the first 30 seconds if I’m going to stay tuned in or if I’m going to tune out for the next 120."

Q - Can you site any specific examples of casting an actor as a direct result of his Unified Audition?
Richard Garner (Georgia Shakespeare) - Yes. It just happened. In our remount of “Twelfth Night” for Shake at the Lake this year, [original co-star] Neal Ghant had to drop out due to a conflicting project. I’d just been at the Unifieds and saw David Howard there. He fit the bill—solid text skills, he sings, and it didn’t hurt that he was close to Neal’s size, which made the costume staff happy. I called him in to read for the director and he had the role within a week of my seeing him at the Unifieds."
