Well, every audition can be different, so there's no knowing exactly what you'll have to do, but preparing ahead of time is probably a good idea. If you can get a copy of the script ahead of time you could practice saying some of the lines, if not then you could just practice speaking clearly and projecting so that people could understand what you were saying from a distance. I don't know about the play you're trying out for, but if it's a musical you might also want to practice singing some of the songs ahead of time to practice. Make sure you look confidant. Don't cross your arms while you're speaking, but make sure that your feet are about shoulder width apart and that your hands are by your sides. If you do get a little fidgety it's ok, just squeeze your thighs. It's less noticable than fidgiting, and will help you feel a little better. Also, try not to fix your clothing/hair in front of people or on stage. It's already messed up if you're fixing it and trying to cover it up will just make it more noticable.
That just about covers all the baisics that I think most actors should know
If I think of anything else I'll tell you, or if you have any questions just ask! Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!
