Before the audition — preparation checklist

1. Understand the brief: Read the role breakdown or job description; note age, accents, skills, physical requirements, and tone.
2. Choose strong material: Pick a contrasting, character-revealing monologue/song (for acting) or pieces showcasing range (for music/dance).
3. Cut to length: Keep to the audition time (often 60–90 seconds for monologues; 16–32 bars for songs).
4. Research the project: Learn the play/film’s style, period, and creators; align choices to director’s vision.
5. Practice smart: Rehearse with attention to intention, beats, objectives, and subtext; get feedback from a coach or peers.
6. Technical prep for self-tapes: Good camera framing (medium close-up for acting), clear sound, neutral background, proper lighting, and slate (name/role).
7. Wardrobe & props: Wear clothes suggesting the character but not full costume; bring required materials (headshot/resume, sheet music with cuts, dance shoes).
8. Logistics: Confirm time, location or link, travel time, parking, and arrival plan.

2. Synopsis

The film follows Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi), a middle-aged widower and television producer. Encouraged by his son to remarry, Aoyama is hesitant about dating. His film-producer friend, Yoshikawa, suggests a deceptive scheme: they will hold a fake audition for a movie role to find a suitable wife for Aoyama.

During the auditions, Aoyama becomes captivated by Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina), a mysterious former ballet dancer with a tragic past. Despite Yoshikawa’s warnings that they cannot verify her background references, Aoyama pursues a relationship with her. As the two grow closer, Asami’s disturbing psyche unravels, leading to a shocking and brutal climax that forces Aoyama to confront the consequences of his deception and desire.

The "Kiri, kiri, kiri"

And then we arrive at the final act. The drugged sake. The paralysis. And that whisper: "Deeper... deeper..."

The infamous needle scene is not torture porn. It is a surgical inversion of power. Aoyama, who spent the entire film looking down at women, is literally pinned to a mat, forced to look up. Asami, who spent the entire film looking at the floor, is now standing over a man.

She uses the tools of his world—the audition, the resume, the pretense of politeness—against him. She tells him she is "ready for the pain." She means it literally. Before the audition — preparation checklist

The brilliance of Eihi Shiina’s performance as Asami is that we never really know if she is avenging her past, punishing him for his dishonesty, or simply insane. Miike leaves it ambiguous. Is she a monster? Or is she the monster that the patriarchy inadvertently bred?

What is an audition?

An audition is a short performance used by casting directors, directors, or producers to evaluate you for a role, job, or membership. It tests your skills, presence, and suitability for a part or position.

Rehearsal & Performance Schedule:

• Rehearsals: [Days & times, e.g., Mon-Thu 6:30–9:30 PM, starting Oct 10]
• Performances/Shoot Dates: [Dates, location]
• Commitment Level: [e.g., 4 weeks rehearsal + 1 week of shows]

The Dream Logic of Trauma

Once the audition ends, the film warps. It doesn’t just shift gears; it melts.

We enter a fever dream. A burlap sack moves on its own. A man in a wheelchair zooms away backwards. Asami’s quiet apartment, which once seemed romantic, reveals a ringing phone that never stops and a suspiciously vomit-shaped lump in the kitchen.

Miike abandons linear reality for emotional reality. This is what Aoyama deserves to feel. The creeping dread. The paranoia. The realization that he has invited a wolf into his den because he was too busy staring at her wool.

The horror of Audition is not just the gore (though the final twenty minutes are famously, notoriously visceral). The horror is the lie of intimacy. Aoyama never loved Asami. He loved an idea of her. And Asami, a survivor of profound childhood abuse (hinted at through the body in the sack and her orthopedic surgeon ex-boyfriend), learned long ago that love is a transaction of pain.

Performance—key principles

• Make clear choices: Strong objectives and tactics make your performance distinct.
• Be specific and truthful: Concrete details and honest impulses read well on stage and camera.
• Start late, finish strong: Begin with action; don’t rush to establish character.
• Listen and react: Acting is reactive; show relationships and responsiveness.
• Control volume & focus: Adjust volume and energy to the space or microphone.
• Stay present under pressure: If you forget a line, pause, improvise truthfully, or ask for a prompt calmly.
• Show range: If asked, offer quick variations in tone, pace, or emotion to demonstrate versatility.
