Here’s a good way to never get called back onto a set… An actor will usually get their call time the night before the shoot day. Most actors will assume it’s the time you pull into set, but that is incorrect and terribly unprofessional.

Sometimes I like to share real life situations to illustrate two things: 1. how powerful the moment in truth can be and 2. how much you can take from it into a performance. Watch real people reacting to real things and mimic them in your acting. -Tom

"Screwing up like a Pro" means treating the hiccup as just that. Dropping a line or flubbing isn't a death sentence. It's simply a part of the audition experience. How you handle mistakes can actually get you the role.

Everyone who works a job makes mistakes and moves on. Why should your audition or performance be any different? Doing it gracefully with levity tells Casting so much about your professionalism, level of experience, and lack of desperation to need the job. They don't hold the controls over your destiny. You do. -Tom
