FAQs
Do I need to request an audition appointment, or can I just walk in?
Walk In auditions are always welcome. Those who request an audition appointment will be seen as close to their appointed time as possible, while Walk-In auditions will be seen as time permits. Everyone that wants to audition will be seen.
Where do I find sheet music?
Most music and book stores contain limited sections of sheet music songbooks. There are several online sheet music sites (like Musicnotes or Sheet Music Plus) that allow you to download and print out most musical selections.
Where do I find a monologue?
The best monologues are found in published plays, musicals, screenplays, and first person narrative literature. Monologues can be found online, and in larger monologue anthologies at your local bookstore. Monologues that are not from full-published plays are oftentimes not very well written and therefore do not make good audition material. We recommend finding audition material that is well written, age appropriate, and something that the actor can emotionally identify with.
What else should I bring to the audition?
Remember to bring a copy of your sheet music and monologue (if required), a headshot or photo, and a resume or list of theatre experience with you. Please give all of these materials to the audition monitor when you arrive and check in. Also, remember to list any and all of your acting, singing, musical instrument, dance, gymnastics, and special skill training (if any).
What should I wear to the audition?
We suggest dressing respectfully and comfortably for your audition. Avoid clothing that hides your face and physique, and that may distract attention away from you and your audition.
