Dominic Zamprogna (Dante, GH) “A couple of things. It’s the most unnatural, nerve-racking experience, so whatever you can do to calm yourself, do it. The other thing is to remember that when you walk into that room, they want you to be the one to get this part. There may be five other people, and they want all five of you to be the one to make them say, ‘That’s the one we want.’ Don’t go into that room thinking of them as people to be scared of, think of them as people going, ‘Please be the one for us, please make this decision easy for us.’ ”

Joshua Morrow (Nick, Y&R) “I will always say, ‘It’s just you and me. I know there are 12 people here, judging you, but forget all of that. It’s just you and me.’ If they can forget who’s watching in that moment, then it’s just the two of us.”

Diamond White (Paris, B&B) “ ‘Don’t think of it as a scary thing. It’s definitely something that you can learn and keep up with. Just go in with an open heart and know the gist of your lines and you’ll be good.’ ”

Lisa LoCicero (Olivia, GH) “ ‘Let’s have fun.’ And if I felt like they messed up, and had a better [effort] in them, I would probably be the one to say, ‘Let’s try that again,’ because I know they’re probably not going to feel that they can ask for that.”

Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter, B&B) “I’ve been in those shoes. My advice would be to say, ‘The reason you’re screen-testing is because they love you. You’ve already gone though the auditions and the callbacks, so now they are just matching a pair of shoes to a belt. They want to see how you fit into their world. You are past the point of whether you are a good actor. You already are, so have fun and just do what you’ve been doing because you got this far. If you’re testing, your puzzle piece is already validated. It’s just a matter of fitting it in.’ ”

Camila Banus (Gabi, DAYS) “It’s really hard advice to give, because how do you tell a person, ‘Try not to look nervous?’ But it does give you a certain energy when you look confident in the room. There’s really not much you can say but, ‘Try to let [the nerves] go. Do breathing and meditation before coming into the room.’ ”
