CURSING
🤬 Can you curse in the audition room? The question isn’t “Can I?” It’s “Should I?”
🎭 Ask this instead: What would the character do? If they would swear, you can swear. If they wouldn’t, don’t.
🎯 Go beyond just what they say. Focus on how. A curse word might be casual. Or it might be explosive. Or it might shatter them.
📖 Read the script. Study the language. Know the stakes. Don’t just hit curse words like they’re free emphasis. Make them mean something.
⚡ Your job isn’t to shock. It’s to tell the truth. Even if the truth includes a well-placed expletive.
👏 Now go break a f***ing leg.
