Student Auditions

Digital Submission Details and Deadlines

Digital audition submission deadline: July 31, 2021

*If you are attending the in-person audition, you do not need to submit a digital audition package.

Submission Guidelines

Please submit:

• 1 Monologue Video
• 1 Video Vocal Audition
• 2 Video Dance Auditions
• 1 Headshot or recent picture
• 1 Completed Audition Form

Prepare:

• Selections from two contrasting songs; a ballad (slow) and an up-tempo (fast). Select 16-32 measures (about one minute per song) that best demonstrate your vocal ability. It is acceptable to start in the middle of a song if you so choose. Students may use pre-recorded music (karaoke or instrumental only–no other singers on the track), play the piano–or have someone else play- with you singing, or sing without music.
• Learn a 1-minute monologue (1-person speech) from an age-appropriate play or film.
• Learn the choreography from these videos for your dance audition:
  • Intermediate Dance Combo Option 1
  • Intermediate Dance Combo Option 2
  • Advanced Dance Combo Option 1
  • Advanced Dance Combo Option 2

Submissions may include one or two combination within their skill level.

Digital Submission Tips:

• How to record your Vocal Audition or Monologue Video: Make sure your face is square in the frame of the video. To start the video, clearly state your name and your two chosen song titles or the name of your monologue (see above). Then go right into your first selection. You may follow your first song by taking a moment to breathe and going right into your second selection.
• How to record your Dance Audition Video: When ready to record your dance audition, double-check that your entire body can be seen in the video (especially your feet!). To start, clearly state your name and go straight into performing. Don’t forget! It’s important to remember the steps, but it’s also important to look like you’re having fun too.
• Key points to remember for dance:
  • Pay attention to the details and accents of the choreography
  • Consider the style of movement/energy
  • Be sure to dance on count and/or to the lyrics
  • Remember to breathe through the movement
