Audition Tips from the Directors
- We are not asking for a monologue, so please be sure to convey character and story through your vocal performance. To help you accomplish this, please be sure your lyrics are memorized.
- When rehearsing your song prioritize these vocal elements in this order: 1 – Projection, 2 – articulation, 3 – pitch, and 4 – tone.
- Bring your track in a downloaded digital format (mp3 or m4a) so you aren’t relying on an internet connection to stream YouTube, Spotify, etc.
- All experience and ability levels welcome! Do not be afraid of singing or dancing! We will have a cast of actors with a wide range of abilities. Show us your best!
- You may select any musical theatre song; but if you need help finding a song you can find audition-length cuts of material from the show at this link:
