When auditioning, it's always important to dress appropriately for the part you're reading. This is called "suggesting the part," and it's the best way to show up for an audition.
For example: Suppose you are up for a role on a drama series, i.e. HOUSE or 24. Don't go in with colorful clothing, like pinks or blues.
This is especially true if you're auditioning for a serious drama like ER. Let's imagine that you know in advance you'll be reading for a powerful death scene: You want to be toned down, with duller, muted colors, and no outrageous clothing styles.
Why is dressing to "Suggest the Part" so critical? After all, shouldn't Casting Directors just be able to "get you?" Wardrobe is going to put you in the clothing for the shoot, anyway, right?
The fact is that, all evidence to the contrary, Casting Directors are people, too. If you have the right clothes, it helps them to picture how you might fit the role. When you enter the casting office you don't want them to have to guess what you might look like in the role – Show them!
When you walk into that room you want them to say, "That's it! She's got the look."
You'd be surprised how many actors show up looking nothing like the part they are reading for. Even though, in the end, you still may get the part because you truly fit the role, "suggesting the part" could be the extra little something you need to edge out the competition.
