Audition top 10 tips

01

Get Ready, Get Set: Dive into some detective work to understand your role inside out. Pick your audition piece like you’d pick your favorite ice cream – because it shows off your best flavors! Whether it’s a song, dance, or monologue, make sure it shines a spotlight on your talents. And, oh, watch that clock to keep things just right–do not go over the alloted time for your audition pieces.

02

Practice Like A Pro: To belt out that song, twirl confidently through your dance, and deliver your monologue with all you’ve got, you’ve got to practice, practice, practice. Success is when preparation meets opportunity.

03

Know Your Story: It’s not just about memorizing lines or notes; it’s about diving deep into the world of your piece. The better you know your story, the more you can play around if someone throws you a curveball.

04

Dress To Express: Choose something comfy and flexible that lets you move and groove without a hitch, and choose colours that look great on YOU! Looking good is part of feeling good, after all.

05

Be The Early Bird: Arrive with time to spare so you can warm up, shake off those butterflies, and go over your pieces. Being early is like giving a high five to everyone’s schedule.

06

Pack Your Bag: Bring along a copy of your headshot and don’t forget your music if you require your own soundtrack. A bottle of water and a small towel may be useful also.

07

Hello, It’s Me: Start things off with a bright smile and a clear introduction. It’s like the appetizer before the main course– make it memorable!

08

Show What You’ve Got: Pour all your emotion into your performance, and let your personality shine, whether you’re singing, dancing or acting. Remember, it’s your moment to sparkle.

09

Be A Chameleon: Ready to switch it up based on feedback? That’s the spirit! Showing you can tweak your performance on the spot is a superpower.

10

A Thank You Goes A Long Way: Don’t forget to show some love to the audition panel with a “thank you”. A little gratitude can brighten anyone’s day, plus a follow-up email keeps the connection alive.

Theatre Glossary

Stepping into the world of theater, rich with new terms can feel like learning a new language. Not sure your what 16-bars are, what your range is, and a bit fuzzy about the meaning of “a cappella”? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are some quick definitions to get you up to speed with the lingo:

  • 16-Bar: A common measure of music used for auditions, typically lasting about 30-60 seconds, showcasing the best part of your vocal range.
  • A Cappella: Singing without any instrumental accompaniment, relying solely on the vocal performance.
  • Monologue: A long speech by one actor in a play or movie, or as part of a theatrical or broadcast program, often used in auditions to demonstrate an actor’s ability to convey emotion or character.
  • Cue: A signal for something to happen in a performance. It can be for an actor’s entrance, a change in lighting, or a sound effect.
  • Blocking: The precise staging of actors on a stage in order to facilitate the performance. It involves movements, positions, and stage actions.
  • Cold Reading: Reading aloud from a script or text with little to no rehearsal, often used in auditions to assess an actor’s ability to perform with fresh material.
  • Props: Objects used on stage by actors during a performance.
  • Stage Left/Right: Directions on the stage from the actor’s perspective facing the audience. Stage left is the actor’s left, and stage right is the actor’s right.
  • Upstage/Downstage: Terms that refer to the depth on stage. “Upstage” is away from the audience, and “downstage” is closer to the audience.
