Actor: “I don’t know if I’ll fit this character well. Maybe I shouldn’t audition after all.”

NO!

Try, you beautiful person, you!

You aren’t the casting director! You can’t possibly read their mind! You will never know exactly what they want!

So just try! Try! Try!

The worst thing that can happen is you don’t get the part. And is that really all that bad?

Taking a chance on yourself and putting yourself out there is more beneficial than not trying at all.

Even if/when you don’t get cast, you still gain experience! It’s all still worth it!

Also, there’s always the chance that the casting director may consider you for a different role later down the line. (Or even in a different project!).

So strut your stuff and show what you can do! You may even surprise yourself!
