Expect to be interrogated. They'll probably ask about your experience, ask for your resume, ask about basics, etc. Do NOT bring up salary, unless they do first! Prepare by saying lines they give you, if you have lines. Or a fake scream, etc. Depends on what kind of haunted house.. practice makes perfect.

Wear casual clothes, as it's an audition for a haunted house, so they will give you a costume or tell you to buy one. Don't go dressed up as a ghost.

Don't be nervous! It's really easy once you get going. And relax. Don't fiddle with your shirt, or something like that!

GOOD LUCK!

They primarily are going to want people who are reliable and mature, can interact well with people, and are comfortable in a performance environment.

I've done these types of jobs as well. You will have to take direction well by remaining in your station, staying in character, keeping your stamina for hours, and not reacting when people try to heckle you. You will never be allowed to touch a customer.

They will provide the scenario and character. Prepare a short monologue just in case they ask at the interview.

Dress in a neat and polished manner. A business suit is not necessary, just look pulled together and tasteful.

I would take the others advice, but one skill you should have is to be able to dead pan. Can you avoid laughing when people are taunting you? When you go to haunted houses or places like Knott's Scary Farm, etc. those actors get heckled. Can you take it and not break character? Aside from being an employee they can count on, they need actors who can take a variety of people trying their best to get them to break character. To best prepare, I would say seriously if you have a little brother invite him and a few of his friends to do do their best to get you to break character and if you can handle them you can handle anything!

best of luck!

it particularly is for a "haunted domicile" audition, no longer a play? pass in complete makeup AND gown as some style of character which you think of may be in a haunted domicile. what style of individual/element might scare the kittens out of you in case you have been to come upon he/she/it at ineffective night? then you definately might desire to "act" hence--in all fairness. for sure in case you dressed as an ax murderer, you desire to come back with a "prop" ax, no longer a real one, nor do you desire to hack up the different auditioners, tempting because it would be to do away with the competition. it particularly is the time to pass over the suitable, so in case you walk in and slap a (pork) coronary heart on the table, and tell them that the the guy in the back of you desperate to pass away "because of the fact his coronary heart merely wasn't into it", it would get their interest. you are able to result employed! Or, escorted off the premises by utilising risk-free practices. easily, gown up and do some performing. There are a good number of expert haunted properties out the place I stay, and in each case, they request for might-be "hauntees" to ensue in character. i've got no longer completed this myself, yet i've got had acquaintances and pals who do the style of element for all time (some additionally do historic re-creations for Renaissance fairs too). examine your digital mail lower back for any counsel you have ignored or misread before. stick to any instructions they provide, and in spite of you do, be on time! pass lower back to the internet internet site and consider up on different standards you will be asked approximately (alongside with journey with coping with crowds--they point out it). as quickly as employed, they are going to "forged" you hence and grant you with what you will be able to desire to paintings (they hire expert makeup artists case in point).
