Day players, Under 5's or U/5, can sometimes be frustrating auditions, whether self-taping or in person. If you don't receive the entire script, information may be lacking from the scene and this deficiency frequently causes us to dismiss the audition or over act it. Under 5's help build careers and it's important to do one's homework and fully prepare the scene.
Day players are essentially the backbone to great projects. They are critical in advancing the plot. And, with great day players presumably comes a quality product. The reverse of this is also a truth.
With that said, don't over-think the audition. You're there to progress the story so don't make the scene about you. With self-taping we see a number of actors audition as if they are the lead in the project. How often is the episodic about the waitress that delivers the coffee, or the film about the cop that declares, "freeze? Keep it simple and real and your chance of booking will increase.
Be thankful your getting this opportunity that others dream of and don't take these roles for granted.
