Lastly, all students will also be expected to sing 20-32 bars of a song in the style of the show. Dance Audition portion will be first.
WHAT TO WEAR
Typically those auditioning bring two outfits to their audition: A dance outfit, and a nice outfit for vocals.
For dance: Comfortable clothing such as leggings, shorts, T-Shirts (please not overly baggy shirts) are ok, but no graphics please. Sneakers are encouraged for this audition. No jeans. No booty shorts. No crop tops. Hair pulled out of face. No jewelry – stud earrings are ok.
For vocals: Please dress nicely - skirts, dresses, slacks and polo or button-down shirts for boys. No Jeans! No shorts!
WHAT TO BRING
Please bring a headshot and resumé. Please make sure your headshot is attached to the resume so that all we need is to flip it over to see the other side (i.e. like printing double sided). Your resumé should be formatted like an actor resumé, listing what shows you have been in. You will also need to provide sheet music for the accompanist (see below for details). Lastly, we suggest you bring a water bottle and a snack for an energy boost!
REQUIREMENTS & TIPS
Audition Tips for Dance:
Don't talk while learning choreography! Wait until the choreographer asks if anyone has questions on the steps. Go over your routine while waiting to audition. Relax- no one expects you to get it perfect after just having learned it- just do your best, smile, have personality, and keep going even if you mess up!
Audition Requirements for Vocals:
- Choose TWO SONGS: #1: A song from Mean Girls from the character you desire to play. If your goal is ensemble, or you do not have a preference of role, please pick something appropriate from Mean Girls. #2 A contrasting song from any musical that is appropriate.
- Choose a cut of music approximately 1 minute in length (or 20-32 bars of a song), no more.
- Please memorize your music. We prefer you do not hold your lyrics or sheet music.
- Do not forget to bring your sheet music! Karaoke Tracks will not be accepted!
Audition Tips for Vocals:
1) Show off Your Voice. Pick something that compliments not only your singing ability but also the character you are wanting to portray.
2) Choose a section of the song that can tell use a bit of your character’s story. Vocal auditions are not just about singing – you need to act too!
3) Prepare the Sheet Music for the accompanist.
- Make a logical and clearly marked cut on the sheet music to reflect your cut of the one-minute you’d like to sing. Here’s an article about how to mark your sheet music.
- Use tape to piece together your sheet music so it is all side-by-side. This makes it easier for the accompanist to play and read! Click here to watch a video on how to properly tape together your sheet music.
- Find sheet music with complete accompaniment and/or with chord markings. This is essential for the accompanist to play the piece the way you have been practicing it! Click here for an example of sheet music with chord markings.
4) Make sure your music is in the correct key!!!
