Reality-check time: As Los Angeles acting teacher Doug Warhit reminds us, most pilots don't go beyond the pilot stage. Of those that do, most are canceled within the first four weeks. So there's no need to get your knickers in a twist. As with any other audition, focus on the work."If you're getting an opportunity to read for a pilot, you must already have strong acting chops," says Warhit, author of "The Actor's Audition Checklist" and other books. Consider this an opportunity to do what you do best: act.But bear in mind, a pilot audition is slightly different from an ordinary TV audition. For one thing, you can't watch the show to get a sense of its style and tone. You need to do a different kind of homework. "You have the breakdown and the script—it's not a big mystery," says actor and former casting director Mara Casey.
