which days best to audition?
Hey, so im planning on going to audition this week at a club, I was just wondering would it be better to audition on the Thursday night or Friday?
Im just thinking in case they do take me on and I have the choice of starting work the same day...
Does it matter or not really make a difference? I was thinking that possibly Friday would be busier.. but dont really know.X
Re: which days best to audition?
Personally I'd say go on a quiet night like a Tuesday or Wednesday, I was really nervous for my first audition but luckily there were only 3 or 4 customers in and the girls there were supportive when I did my first stage show. If there had of been loads of guys in I'm sure I would've found it a lot more difficult.
If you have to pick between Thursday and Friday I'd say Thursday, Fridays you tend to get a lot of drunk wankers in, more so than usual that is, so might be a little off-putting on your first night.
By the way what club did you decide to try? Are you auditioning with the other girls that was asking about clubs in London?
Re: which days best to audition?
I second going on a quiet night. Or going on a dayshift.
Did you call ahead to see if they prefer a time. Some clubs are picky and will turn you away if it's not the right time, especially if it's a busy night. Also, the right "guy" may not be there so you may not get an answer.
So: call club and get them to tell you when to show up. If they say "anytime" then show up on a less busy night. If it has to be a Thursday or Friday then pick Thursday.
Re: which days best to audition?
darn... I really wanted to go Friday, thought it might be better to try out then but guess you girls know best.
Do you really think its best to audition on a quieter night? Should i wait and try out Monday?
I rang the clubs and they all audition Monday-Friday.
Im confused!! lol
Re: which days best to audition?
if you think you have the confidence to do your first dance on a busy night then by all means go for it, try and get there at the earliest possible time they'll allow to try and minimise the amount of customers there. Will they let you work that same night? If so I'll warn you Friday nights can be really hard work, I've found this to be true for most of the clubs I've worked at, don't know why but all the wankers just seem to like coming out on Fridays!
If it were me I'd wait till Monday, but I had very little confidence and low self-esteem when I first started, for someone a bit ballsier it shouldn't matter what night it is. Though do keep in mind a lot of clubs charge higher fees for working on the weekend as opposed to during the week so if you are nervous and don't have a good hustle yet it might be a little more difficult to make money.
Whatever you decide, good luck!!

You should call the club and ask when the best day or time is.

Hmmm.. Im really not sure what to do now! On the one hand I would like to go sooner than later but if you think id be bettwe going on the Monday maybe I should hold out 3 more days.
I'm not sure if the club will allow me to work if i pass the audition because i didnt ask.. maybe I should?
I was thinking of going to either Venus or Spearmint .. both of which will probably be busy. I dont really want to do my audition when the club is packed out if I can get around it, im scared enough lol

Bumpie, I was trying to decide this myself, I keep seesawing around about it:-\..though I wanted/intended to go tonight..however, I had to be in court earlier, + a big drive there, so kinda drained right now, not to mention I have awful outgrowth on hair to touch up:(. Going to cam it..
I've found most places tell you anything on the phone, literally::), it may actually be so, but not always.
Re: which days best to audition?
I feel you Im less nervous about auditioning and more nervous of just not getting a job! Good luck!!
Re: which days best to audition?
I would call and find out if there's a time you should come. In the past I've just gone whenever I feel like it, but I was turned away from two clubs in the last couple months because the hiring manager wasn't there and told to come back. It was SUPER annoying because not only had I driven out that night but I had spent two hours getting ready to audition.
Thursdays I think are better-- in LA Thursdays are kind of like week-ends at clubs, but I find I do the best on Thursday of any day of the week (Friday is second) for some reason. I would try and get there a little early, like 6 or 7 so it's not super busy when you're trying to get a job.
I will say tho, there are a couple girls working at my club right now who I REALLY don't think would have gotten hired if they hadn't come on a dead Sunday. There was like one girl working when they came and the manager just hired them because he was desperate (not saying you're like that, but it can work in your favor to go on a dead night).
