Audition Hints

Be fully rested for your audition. Energy is that intangible force that can elevate you to the level of a star performer.

When you audition, take a deep breath, focus your thoughts and energy, and GO FOR IT!

Remember to be yourself, project your voice, smile, and have fun! Break a leg!!

Vocal Audition Day

Bring a dressy casual outfit to change into for the singing part of the audition.

Remember: this is a competition, and you'll want to look your best.

Come with a prepared song. When choosing a musical piece to sing, pick one that reflects your full personality and vocal range.

Try something you can "play" with, one that's fun for you to sing. Most importantly, choose a number you'll feel confident performing.

Lyrics to your vocal selection should be memorized. No acapella singing will be allowed. An accompanist will be provided.

Bring one copy of your sheet music for the accompanist (and another for you if you need it). If you don't have a song ready,

you may sing Happy Birthday and may be asked to sing a scale.

Dance/Acting Audition Day

Come dressed to move! For the movement/dancing part of the audition, you will learn a short dance routine,

so wear something that you can be energetic in—flexible soled shoes and comfortable clothing.
