Warmed up… and then sat in holding for an hour?
By the time your number is called, your body has completely cooled down, and starting from scratch right before you step into the room is the last thing you want.
Here’s the thing: your warm-up doesn’t have to be long, and it definitely shouldn’t be one-and-done.
Try these simple strategies to stay audition-ready without burning out in the waiting room:
✨ Keep it efficient: A 5-minute standing warm-up in a small corner of holding is all you need—no floor space or equipment required. Goal: feel ready, not tired.
✨ Re-warm, don’t restart: Don’t repeat your whole routine. Keep blood flowing so you aren’t starting from zero when your group is called.
✨ Take “movement snacks”: Get up, walk around, move your joints, and gently elevate your heart rate in small bursts throughout the wait.
When your number gets called, you want to walk in confident, primed, and ready to perform.
