FAQ’s about EGMTC AUDITIONS

Who auditions? All performers must audition. 

When are auditions? Fall Show auditions will be at the end of September or beginning of October.

How do I schedule an audition appointment?  Sign-up links will be available on this page and on the home page of the website. If you aren’t on our email list, you may join it by sending your name and email address to egmusicaltheatre@gmail.com so you can stay in the loop.

Which show should 12 or 13-year-olds audition for? Do you take performers under age 7? 12 or 13 year-olds may choose the show in which they participate. We may direct them to one cast or another based on the needs of the casts.  If you need more info. about this, contact Angee Wangsgard. We may accept a limited number of children under the age of 7 IF there is room in the cast, depending on the child's readiness.

What should I bring? Please fill out the registration form online and come prepared to have your height measured, have your photo taken, read lines and sing a song (jr. cast).

What happens at auditions? Jr. cast performers should come prepared with a song and ready to perform lines (see audition tip email). If a performer wishes to audition for a specific role, they should sing a song of the character they wish to be. Sr. cast performers are asked to submit their audition song prior to auditions. At auditions, they will have the chance to read lines, dance, and possibly sing again. See Sr. Cast Audition doc we shared with you for more details and links.

 What happens after auditions? Callbacks will be scheduled individually if needed. Cast Lists will be posted via email.

6 Tips for Auditions:

 1.  Learn about the musical you’re auditioning for.

2.  Pick a song that shows what part you are interested in.

3.  Practice, memorize and add actions appropriate for the song.

4.  Songs should be sung a cappella (no musical accompaniment) or with instrumental music (karaoke type). Performers may not sing to a track with background singers or words. Performers should be prepared to operate their own music. We recommend the music be downloaded so they aren’t relying on cell coverage or wi-fi.

5. Come prepared to read lines - use good diction, make your voice sound interesting, and speak louder than normal conversation.

6.  Be confident, takes lots of deep breaths, and do your best.
