If you are interested in auditioning, please read the Characters Page, Audition Pack to have some understanding of the play and follow the steps below. We are looking for Disney inspired voices too, so please look at the accent videos on the Audition Booking Schedule.
Steps to an Audition
(Please follow these steps exactly in order - you must complete the online application form before booking an audition time)
Step 1: Please download the Audition Pack from Google Drive
Step 2: Then complete the online Audition Application Form.
Step 3: Next make an appointment for your audition on the Audition Booking Schedule.
Step 4: Finally, follow the procedures in the How to prepare for an Audition section below.
How to prepare for an Audition?
Please do some background reading and understanding of the play's plot line and characters.
A 10 minute audition usually follows this pattern:
1. Welcome and questions to you about the play, chosen character
2. Presentation of your 1-2 minute monologue (this should be memorised or improvised based on one character from Game of Tiaras)
3. Reworking/improvising your monologue (following suggestions from audition panel)
4. Questions you may wish to ask the audition panel and director
If you are auditioning for a walk on-walk off speaking role, you should group together with other actors seeking a minor role and read a scripted scene from the play available in the Game of Tiaras Extracts in the Audition Pack.
Please note: the audition panel will comprise the Director (and some students from the Advanced Drama class). Auditions are closed, but if you wish - you are allowed one friend only to accompany you for support.

How to give your best Audition
Please do NOT read your monologue - this is a bad audition.
You may be asked to do a 'cold reading' from other scenes of the play. This means the audition panel will hand you a section of the script and you will read the lines 'in character' only after scanning them for a short time, perhaps 1-2 minutes in preparation. Be prepared for this to happen - have a sense of your character voice, posture, mannerisms and attitude.
