Using An Audition Failure To Succeed
While we don’t know the first thing about acting, we can imagine that a lot of actors face criticism and failure more than the average person. What can we learn from them?
Auditions are make or break moments for actors. The list that an article from The Stage provided can be used by people who don’t perform, too!

1. Leverage the power of labels
How would it feel if you ‘consciously’ chose to label all audition experiences as ‘gifts’ – regardless of whether the experience was good or bad?
2. Ask yourself powerful questions
“How did that audition serve me?”, “What have I just learnt?”, “What worked and how can I improve next time?”.
3. Understand that every ‘no’ is one step closer to a ‘yes’
The most successful people on this planet – businesspeople, salespeople and indeed actors – all realise that for every ‘no’ they receive, they are actually one step closer to a ‘yes’.
Use these steps to help you overcome failures and move toward success!
