Auditions

Step 1: Think about the type of role you would like.

1. Big Roles - These roles have multiple solos and lots of lines to memorize, so make sure you're comfortable and have the time to commit. (Shrek, Fiona, Donkey)

2. Medium Roles - Still quite a few lines and maybe a solo (Farquaad, Gingy, Dragon, Pinocchio)

3. Smaller Roles - Less than 10 lines, and either no solos or maybe a tiny little 'one sentence' solo. (Storyteller 1, Storyteller 2, Storyteller 3, Mama Ogre, Papa Ogre, Big Bad Wolf, Pig 1, Pig 2, Pig 3, Wicked Witch, Peter Pan, Ugly Duckling, Mama Bear, Baby Bear, Young Fiona, Teen Fiona, Knight 1, Knight 2, Knight 3, Knight 4)

4. Non-Singing - Captain of the Guards, Pied Piper/Gnome, Bishop

5. Chorus/Ensemble - If you don't want any lines, you can audition to be part of the ensemble.  This means you will likely play a fairy tale character, a woodland creature and/or a townsperson. You won't have any lines, but will sing with the cast for the big ensemble numbers.

Step 2: Look through these Character Summaries and think about which characters appeal to you.

Step 3: Look through the Audition Chart, find the charcters you're interested in and listen to their songs

Step 4: Choose your top two roles and fill out the Audition Form

Step 5: PRACTICE the lines and songs from the Audition Chart

1. Click the link to the "Lines" for your character and practice saying them out loud a few times. (They don't have to be memorized for the audition, but it might help you 'get in character')

2. Click the link to "Sheet Music" if you want to see the music while you learn it.

3. Click the link to the "Vocal Demo" and sing along with the audition song for your character.

4. Finally, click the link to the "Accompaniment" and try singing the song with just the accompaniment.  This is the version we will play for your audition
