<p>I don’t think auditors have any duty to “pretend to enjoy” your audition. It is YOUR responsiblity to create an audition that folks will enjoy. It is YOUR responsibility to hold the audience’s attention.</p>
<p>This isn’t loving parents going and watching everything their child does and pretending it is good. At this point folks are being asked to be genuinely good.</p>
<p>And most auditors get to be very good at maintaining a “poker face”. You really shouldn’t read anything into auditor reactions. They frequently, for example, have to take notes during your audition. So they remember that you were the incredible one. You should be delivering your monologues to an imaginary person standing behind where the auditor is sitting. Imagine that that person is giving you full attention, enjoying your monologue, and so on.</p>
