There are two types of procedural audition genres:

Legal Procedurals and Medical Procedurals

Procedural genres have a formula to their storytelling, and knowing this formula will inform your choices and shape "How" you show up.

Understanding the given circumstances, your relationship to the other characters in the scene with you, your role in serving the story, your wants, needs, intent, and tactics, along with the technical aspects of your character's Position (Police Officer, Detective, Lawyer, Doctor, Nurse, EMT, etc.) is the key to embodying the procedural role.
