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.
