Lauren's costume

Lauren wants desperately to be an actress: therefore she would have put a lot of thought into what to wear to her audition. I picture her with a fair amount of makeup on but nothing too heavy and with hair in a fashionable up-do.

What you wear to an acting audition is vitally important: before you even open your mouth you are being judged.

I asked my drama teacher what are the best clothes to wear to an acting audition and he said that it is important to wear something you can move in; so trousers rather than a skirt, and nothing extravagant such as huge earrings or an outrageous hair style that will take the attention away from your acting. He said it is also important to dress to show off your physical assets, but not over the top on this. i.e cleavage on show. 

There are few examples of past performances of 'The Audition' online but here are a few I have found:

 This Lauren has put effort into her hair and makeup without over-doing it and has a simple top and jeans on. The top shows off her assets; in this case, her waist and chest. 

I'm not so much of a fan of this Lauren: her hair is a mess and she is not wearing makeup: Lauren wants to be Ophelia badly so she would put effort into her appearance. It is also not recommended to have patterned clothes on, but rather a plain coloured top. 

This is the most effective Lauren costume in my opinion. The colour of her top shows her youthfulness and her hair and makeup is appropriate for an audition.
