Q: Preparing for an audition is a highly variable process. If you’re not allowed to use a script during the audition, memorize your lines by reading them aloud over and over until you can recite them confidently without referring to the script. Read the script over and over to identify the psychology driving your character. Bring that understanding to your performance.  Try performing the script in a variety of ways to strike the right tone. For instance, you might try performing an angry role by yelling or by using a terse, acidic tone. Additionally, find out when and where the audition will occur and plan to arrive there at the appointed time. Even if you aren’t a fit for the role you’re auditioning for, you might be able to get a role in another production. With your resume and headshot in hand, theaters and film studios will be able to contact you about other roles you might want. You might be asked to submit a resume and headshot well in advance of the audition itself, or you might be asked to submit it right before or right after your audition. When waiting in the lobby or waiting room for your turn to audition, don’t have a bunch of your belongings (scripts, notes, and so on) spread out that might take time to collect and order. This will only irritate the director, producer, and/or casting director. Casting directors and producers don’t want to have a conversation with you. They want to know if you can act. Present yourself in a single, quick sentence (“Hi, my name is Mike Fisher and I’m performing a scene from Hamlet,” for instance), then launch directly into the scene when they give you the go-ahead.  You might also be asked to name your agent, if you have one. Additionally, don’t waste time during the audition with questions. If you have questions, direct them to your agent, the audition liaison, or whoever helped you set up the audition. The process of performing your role in an audition is highly variable. In some cases, you’ll be allowed to read from cue cards or a script.  In other cases, you’ll be expected to have your lines memorized. Some auditions permit you to select the role you want to audition, while other will expect you to recite a passage directly from the production that you’re auditioning for. The rules and expectations about what role you’re to perform during the audition will be explained to you in advance. Unless you recognize someone specific in the audition, you never know who is a director, a producer, and so on. Some of the people at your audition could be your ticket to getting the job -- or another that you didn’t even audition for.  Therefore, smile and treat everyone in the audition room with respect.  Disrespectful behavior includes eating, smoking, or chewing gum inside the audition room. Additionally, don’t touch the casting director or any of their possessions. Thank the casting director and other audition staff before leaving.
A: Prepare for the audition. Submit your resume and headshot. Don’t make the audition crew wait on you. Don’t waste time with pleasantries. Perform your role as requested. Be respectful of everyone.

Article: Although you may be limited in how the specialist places you in the machine, be sure to position yourself in a way that is comfortable. Take any prescribed medications before your procedure, unless told otherwise by your physician, in order to avoid any discomfort. Depending on your triggers, a darker or lighter room may make you feel more at ease. The correct ambience will put you at ease and make the time appear to go by quicker. Talk with the specialist/technologist and your physician about means to improve the environment in which the MRI imaging is taking place. Maintaining a comfortable temperature will limit your anxiety. Most hospitals or imaging centers should have blankets available if the room is too cold. A soft blanket will also add an extra layer of comfort. Depending on the procedure, an MRI scan can take anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes, so you will want to have on clothes that you can lay around in for a while. Do not wear tight or restrictive clothes, which may intensify your feelings of discomfort and possibly feelings of claustrophobia. Instead, wear clothes that are loose-fitting and allow for lots of air movement. If you are unsure what to wear, talk to the MRI specialist or your physician about appropriate clothing for your procedure.  Avoid wearing clothes with any metal. You maybe asked to change into a hospital gown, which can increase anxiety, if your clothing is incompatible with the machine. Because you have to be positioned a certain way during the MRI scan, there are a variety of different pillows created specifically for MRI procedures that will help you stay comfortable while you are in the imaging machine. Typically, the hospital or imaging center should have pillows available for you to use. However, if these pillows are unavailable, or you find them uncomfortable, talk with your physician or the imaging specialist about buying your own MRI pillow to bring to the procedure.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Ensure your physical comfort. Change the brightness of the lights in the room. Alter the room’s temperature. Wear comfortable clothes. Use an MRI pillow.

Q: Any science courses you are able to take can help prepare you for work as an environmentalist. Ecology classes are the most useful ones to take since they cover how living creatures interact with their environment. Other science courses, such as biology and chemistry, also come in handy. Remember that most environmentalists have a well-rounded education covering many different subjects. Even if the classes available to you aren’t what you want to do, they may come in handy later. A good university environmental science program teaches you even more about how the world works. It combines different fields an environmentalist needs to know, from natural sciences like biology to Earth sciences like geography. Earning your degree prepares you for entry-level jobs in environmentalist-related fields.  Because environmentalists serve in a variety of roles, an environmental science degree isn’t your only option. Economics, political science, and even engineering can help you become an environmentalist. You can also earn a master’s degree to gain more credentials. Try studying public policy, environmental planning, or other fields related to the kind of work you want to do. Many environmentalists benefit from having a solid foundation of writing skills. You should learn how to write cohesive, grammatically-correct reports. Environmentalists often write reports on their work, draft laws for new environmental policies, or create funding proposals. In addition, an environmentalist needs to know how to tailor these writing assignments to their intended audience.  Language classes are a good way to get a basis in writing. Business classes may also help you learn how to draft professional proposals. Science classes may cover the need to write reports. Take these seriously, since a lot of people depend on work reports from professional environmentalists. Taking a few computer classes can also round out your education. You will most likely need to use a computer to write reports and perform research. This means getting comfortable with word processor documents, spreadsheets, emails, and search engines. Classes covering information systems tend to be very useful in this line of work. Some environmentalists may use data software to for science and for compiling reports. Others may work out in the field using scientific equipment. Joining these programs will get you some experience. The best time to start volunteering is now! High school students can find opportunities with the local chapters of environmentalist groups, animal welfare groups, and other organizations. University students should contact their school’s environmental science department for internship opportunities.  For example, you can join the Sierra Club, National Resource Defense Council, or work with animal sanctuaries. Think about what you can do in your community. Even helping out with local cleanup committees or animal protective programs makes a difference. Environmentalist is a large field, so there are many different jobs you can apply for. Take some time to consider your field or study and interests, then start looking for employers. Many government labs hire environmentalists for research purposes. Private labs also do this, while consulting firms need environmentalists to instruct others on greener living. Avoid overlooking related fields. For instance, food scientists can provide research for sustainable agriculture. Lobbyists speak with politicians about environmental laws. Many jobs, from meteorologists to marine biologists, can double as environmentalists.
A:
Take environmental science courses in high school. Go to college for at least a 4-year degree in environmental science. Take writing classes while you are in school. Master basic computer skills. Get involved with an internship or non-profit organization. Submit applications for environmentalist jobs.
