GENERAL TIPS FOR ALL AUDITIONS
We can't guarantee that you will ace your auditions, but following these general tips for all performers - actors, dancers, singers - will prepare you and help make your acting audition a success.
- Always know the part or role you are auditioning for. Make sure you have the characteristics and talents required for the role.
- Arrive thirty minutes prior to the audition time; this will give you time to check-in, warm up, and check out your competition.
- Bring at least 2 photos and resumes. Professional headshots and acting portfolios are a plus. Photos should reflect your current physical likeness and should always be updated!
- DO NOT chew gum (all directors hate it). It makes it harder to understand when you are speaking or role playing.
- When attending callbacks, always wear the same attire you wore at the first audition. Try to do everything as you did the first time because it worked!
- Be confident, smile, always have a positive attitude.
- Act excited about everything you are asked to do.
AUDITION TIPS FOR ACTORS/IMPROVISATION
- Be prepared for improvisation.
- Different voice tones and accents are a plus.
- Prepare a dramatic and comedic monologue no more than two minutes in length.
- Please ask and note if the auditions are going to provide sides.
AUDITION TIPS FOR SINGERS
- Bring two selections of sheet music in legible condition; one up-tempo and one ballad.
- Be prepared to sing the best 16 bars.
- Know your vocal range.
- Your sheet music should have full musical notation in the key in which you will perform.
- Always dress appropriately, especially if the audition requires movement in a dance routine.
