Here are some possibilities for what you might be thinking of:
1. "Type" as in personality/persona:
* Actors often audition for roles that fit their "type." This refers to the kind of character they're typically cast as, based on their appearance, age, skills, and even perceived personality.
* So, an audition for a certain "type" might be a general audition for actors who fit a specific demographic or character archetype.
2. "Type" as in a written script:
* "Type out" could refer to a written audition. This means the actor would be given a script or dialogue to read aloud, rather than memorizing lines.
* This is common in voice acting and some theater auditions.
3. Specific to a particular industry/context:
* It's possible this term is unique to a specific organization, company, or group. If you have more context, like where you heard this term, that might help clarify.
For more clarity:
* If you can provide more context, such as where you heard the term or what kind of audition you're interested in, I can give you a more specific answer.
* If you're unsure of the terminology, you can try searching online or asking someone in the relevant industry.
