Tips for Auditioning:

Be prepared.

Prepare your piece well. Try to memorize your selection and practice it many times.


Be kind to everyone and smile.

Remember that your audition for every show begins the moment you walk in the door. You may be perfect in the audition room, but rudeness or misbehavior in the lobby will be noticed.


Be on time for your appointment.

Arriving early gives you time to relax and focus and not feel rushed.


Use your waiting time wisely.

It is great to see old friends and make new ones at an audition, but be sure to take some time to focus on your audition.


Dress appropriately.

Dress to impress. This is a job interview. Dress accordingly


Introduce yourself.

When you walk into the audition room, tell us your name and the name of the piece you have prepared. This makes a good first impression.


Don’t watch the directors.

While doing your audition, do not look directly at the people you are auditioning for, unless specifically directed to do so. Look at your scene partner.


Mistakes happen.

If you make a mistake, do not apologize. Remember that others may not even notice a mistake, but if you point it out to them, they will know for sure.


It’s OK to be nervous.

Don’t worry about being nervous. Just about everyone is nervous. Do your best to smile and have a good time.
