Steps To Success
Step 1: Research the Company & Audition Specifics as soon as you have decided to audition, make an appointment right away if one is necessary. Some auditions have a limited number of spaces. Making an audition appointment early will also give you more choice of when you audition, allowing you to choose what fits into your schedule. Add a page in your audition journal with all the important info: who, what, where, when, what the requirements are, etc. Mark the date on your calendar.Find as much information as possible about the production company and the director.
Step 2: Research the Show Look at the cast requirements, make a note of the roles you are eligible for. Take notes in your audition journal. Listen to the music from the show if possible. If it is not offered, ask for it. Pay particular attention to any songs sung by the characters you are suited for. Read the script if at all possible. Take note of scenes that might be used for a cold reading. Research the time period and context in which the play or musical is set.
Step 3: Choose Your Audition Song, Dance & Monologue, use character profiles to research characters similar to those you are aiming for in your audition. Be prepared for a upbeat tempo as well as a slow one. You never know what the director is looking for.
Step 4: Prepare Other Skills & Rehearse Thoroughly Prepare for cold readings
