Q: What do I prepare for the video audition?
A: Prospective students should prepare traditional Broadway/pop rock-style (up-tempo) 32-bar segments of a song and one short (no longer than one minute) comedic monologue that shows your personality from your choice of musical or play. Either have a piano or track play behind you to provide the music; make sure you are louder than the music!
Q: How do I prepare the best vocal audition?
Select a portion of a song from a musical that best demonstrates your vocal range, musicality, interpretive skills, and acting ability. It is OK to start at any point in the song. Many times, the end of the song has the most range and will show off your vocal ability.
Also, music should be age appropriate and from a Broadway musical. You want to sing a song that is believable while you are acting it. If you are new to auditioning stay away from songs that are too ambitious vocally, but rather songs that you are comfortable with.
Q: Should I prepare music from the show?
A: No, please pick another show to sing from. If students are called back, they will then sing from the show music.
Q: What should I wear?
A: We ask you to wear clothing that shows you off at your best and is what you are comfortable in. This means neat, stain-free, wrinkle-free and preferably solid colors. No costumes or props please.
Q: How should I wear my hair?
A: If you have long hair, please make sure your hair is pulled back off of your face so we can see you and your beautiful smile, and your hair does not fall into your eyes.
Q: How should I do my makeup?
A: If you wear makeup, please keep it simple and clean. Again, we want to see you, not the character.
Q: If I do not get a callback, should I assume am not cast in the show?
A: NO! The director will be seeing some students for callbacks but not everyone needs to be called back. Please wait to see the cast list before assuming who is cast and who is not.
Q: What are we looking for?
A: Musical theatre is telling a story with a song as opposed to spoken lines. It is just as important to us that you can tell the story of the song, expressing the feeling of the moment as well as being able to maintain the melody of the song and sing the song as written. For the dance audition, we want to see how you move. Above all we want to see you and your personality.
Q: Do actors have to prepare a monologue?
A: No. students may be asked to read from the script at callbacks.
Q: Where can I find sheet music?
A: You can purchase sheet music at local music stores, or on websites like musicnotes.com and sheetmusicplus.com. The Disney song books, or Rogers and Hammerstein musicals are a good source of material that is age appropriate.
Q: If I don’t get a callback, should I assume I have not made the cast?
A: No! Even if you don’t get a callback, you can still be cast. We have simply seen what we need to and will be in touch with the cast list soon after callbacks.
