Five Things to Yell in the EPA Holding Room

The holding room is a place to assert dominance, and prove to your peers that you are are a working actor. It’s important to establish a position of power before you even make it to the audition. Not sure what to say? Struggling with what will get a rise out of the group? Here are the Top Five Things to Yell in the EPA Holding Room.

Shriek “MY YEAST INFECTION ISN’T CLEARING UP!” Drop the Mic.
Don’t Wait For The Director to Type: Take it Upon Yourself to tell others if they should go home! “You, You, You…. Not You…”
Chatter loudly about “Rick” and what he likes to see in the room: Everyone will assume you know what you’re talking about and one will know that the director is really named Zach!
Loudly ask the monitor questions about every aspect of the audition: Reiterate how long it has been since you have been to an audition, because you have been on tour. As though projecting to an outdoor amphitheatre scream: “DID YOU HEAR THAT?I WAS ON TOUR. I HAVEN’T BEEN AUDITIONING BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ON TOUR.”
When the monitor leaves the room, make an announcement about a ballet dance call: Ask all the movers to come back tomorrow.
