Prepare for the requested activity
Check whether you need a particular outfit, shoes or movement-friendly clothing. Pack those items cleanly and so they are easy to find. If costume expectations are unclear, ask. Do not assume every audition wants formal clothing or a printed portfolio.
Keep practical details accessible
Save the address, arrival time and contact information somewhere you can open quickly. Allow for travel delays and charge your phone. Bring water and your everyday essentials. Avoid carrying unrelated private paperwork unless it has actually been requested through an appropriate process.
Keep a simple portfolio backup
Export a relevant VIPCasting PDF and check that you can open the saved copy without searching your gallery. Bring printed material only when useful or requested. Review the brief once more before leaving and separate your travel plan from your performance notes.
