you are always on audition
you are always on audition
On any given day, anyone can have a great audition, or a less than desirable audition. Auditions are a necessary process and vital tool as well as a chance for the directors to see you shine on material that you have rehearsed and perfected. Your audition should be a reflection of your time and commitment to the arts. Directors also understand that anything can happen during an audition, which is why everyday is an audition. We are truly on your side.
As soon as you know when auditions are scheduled, you must begin your preparation. If you already know certain shows are announced, you should begin preparing. Research the style, genre, time period, etc. Self access your strengths and weaknesses and begin your prep for auditions. If you do not know where your strengths and weaknesses, ask your directors. You must be open minded to hear the truth if you really want to be a part of any production. This is an educational process and it is our intent to help you understand where you are and where you could go!
A true artist never boasts about their work or how much they know,

AIRNESS (HS Edition)
AIRNESS (HS Edition)
"In music, as in everything,
the disappearing moment of experience is the firmest reality."
~Benjamin Boretz
When Nina enters her first air guitar competition, she thinks winning will be easy. But as she befriends a group of charismatic nerds all committed to becoming the next champion, she discovers that there's more to this art form than playing pretend; it's about finding yourself in your favorite songs, and performing with raw joy. Will Nina be able to let go and set herself free onstage? Following her mission to shred or be shredded, Airness is an exuberant reminder that everything we need to rock is already inside us. A comedy about competition, completion, and finding the airness inside yourself.
"You don't choose air guitar. Air guitar chooses you."
~C. Diddy, 2003 World Air Guitar Champion

Audition Tips
Audition Tips
Some tips to have the most successful audition:
· State your name, audition piece, and the name of the show by which it appears in before beginning your vocal selection. This is called a slate.
· Please use backing tracks/accompaniment below, or create your own; we prefer no Acapella singing but may accept Happy Birthday or Amazing Grace.
· Keep your upper torso as well as the top of your head in frame.
· Consider watching a Jr. or full production of Legally Blonde to understand the character singing and how the song fits into the show.
· Do not stress :) Have fun and show off your character and talent!

2023 UIL OAP AUDITIONS
Tuesday, December 6, 2022
4:00 PM-6:30 PM
All those interested will be asked to fill out an AUDITION FORM, and sign a PRODUCTION CONTRACT found in our UIL OAP Information packet. Hard copies of the Information packet and audition forms will be available Monday, November 28th and are also provided below.
ACTORS: please prepare two contrasting monologues not to exceed 3 minutes collectively. You will be asked to slate, and transition between selections and out of your performances. Monologues can be found HERE or in Ms. Phillips' class. Please use selections from a published play. This process is similar to the Texas Thespian Monologue event.
TECH: Please create a vision board (either hardcopy or via Google Slides) with your set/costume/prop inspiration of our chosen UIL OAP. If you would like to design sound, please email or share a playlist with Ms. Phillips with underscoring or editing that inspires you from our UIL OAP. This is due by 4:00 PM on December 5th (the day before auditions) so we can ask you questions about your presentation slide during your interview time slot.
ACTING/TECH: If you are preparing for BOTH, please share your presentation with me prior to auditions so that we can ask questions regarding your inspiration board after your monolouge performance.
Our show this year is Of Good Stock, by Melissa Ross.
For more information regarding this show, please click HERE.
Due to the limited number of performers in the script, Ms. Phillips encourages all students to create a vision board and invites all technicians to present a short monologue for consideration. Although this is not mandatory, it demonstrates your desire and flexibility to become a company member of our UIL OAP. The benefit in doing so is the student grows as a student of theatre in a different disciplines.
