Callbacks

Callbacks are a second round of auditions. Callbacks are scheduled for September 22nd. Not all actors will receive a callback. Callback information will be given to performers at their audition time slot if they receive a callback.


AUDITION TIPS

Tips for making the most of your audition:

  • Pick a song you like to sing

  • Broadway and Disney songs are encouraged

  • Songs from the current play are discouraged

  • Maximum time for singing is 1 1/2 minutes

  • Focus on the best part of the song

  • It’s fun to sing to a karaoke track, they can be edited for length

  • Singing to a track w/ vocals is discouraged because we can’t hear you.

  • Try to dance, act or play the character

  • Relax and have fun. That’s more important than being perfect.

CHOOSING A SONG

Choose a song that ...

  • the actor is familiar with

  • is within their singing range

  • has a similar character to the part they want to get

  • allows the actor to show their personality

  • has some story to it, to encourage dancing and acting

One suggestion for finding song options is to search for Disney Songs on YouTube. There are many helpful videos with some of the most famous and fun Disney tunes.


AUDITION MUSIC

Please use these tips for audition music. Following these tips can really help your actor have a more smooth and less stressful audition experience.

  • If your child is going to sing to a background track, please send them with a device to play the song

  • YouTube videos can be challenging for background (karaoke) tracks. They have ads and sometimes the internet connection is not stable

  • We suggest playing a karaoke track located on the device or possibly in Apple Music.

  • Have the track cued up for your actor so they can just press play

  • Parents stay outside during auditions so if your actor has your phone make sure it is in Airplane mode and there is no passcode

AUDITION CLASSES

Optional audition classes:

We are going to offer an audition class this year on September 15th after school. This class is optional and free of charge. There is no need to register for the class. We will have fun and discuss how actors can improve their audition.
