Audition "Sides"

The term “sides” simply refers to the specific set of lines from the script of an acting project that you must learn prior to an audition.

The sides for any given audition may be as small as a few words up to a few scenes or excerpts from a few scenes from the script for a project.

In addition to the lines that are spoken, there may be other instructions or specifications about what is going on in the particular segment(s) or sides from the script for the project. These will typically provide clues to help you make decisions about your character’s delivery of the lines.
