Abstract

This research addresses the evaluation mechanisms utilized in auditions for acting programs within Chinese drama schools. By employing discourse analysis as its methodological approach, the study examines the perspectives of auditors, candidates, and relevant literature to uncover the intricacies of appearance, believability, and academic performance in the audition process. The research highlights the nuanced role of appearance, influenced by societal beauty standards, in shaping candidates' prospects. It further delves into the multifaceted discourse on believability, reflecting both its inherent qualities and potential for development through training. The study also explores the interplay between academic performance and acting, considering the value of cultural literacy and critical thinking skills. Ultimately, the research advocates for comprehensive evaluation methods that emphasize passion, authenticity, collaborative abilities, and critical thinking skills, offering valuable insights for reforming the audition process and nurturing the growth of aspiring actors.
