The Video Audition Process

​

​For this event's auditions, we would like you to submit a video that includes the following: 

​

slate:

A slate is a basic introduction of who you are for the audition panel.
Please have your student say the following about themselves:

​

I am ________ years old.

I am _______ Feet/Inches Tall.

"I will be doing a monologue from (show) and I will be portraying (character)"

​

Monologue:

​

30-40 Seconds. Can be any monologue except anything from The Wizard of Oz or Wicked. Please have your monologue memorized and not just read it for your audition.

​​

Musical Audition:
 

For the Musical Audition, we have two choices.  Please choose the song that showcases the best of your abilities and vocal range. Please use the instrumental versions as background to your singing, but you can practice with the lyrics.
