FAQs
How long is the entire audition process?
The total audition time is typically 90 minutes including learning the dance combination. At the initial auditions, students learn a dance combination simultaneously to the music/monologues auditions. Remember the audition begins when you step in the auditorium. Be respectful and professional while enjoying the process, meeting new people, learning from those around you and having fun. Stay focused, only ask the choreographer, director or production assistants questions regarding the dance combination. Callback times will vary from show to show.
What is a callback?
A callback is the second round of auditions in which the creative team has people sing, and read from the show for specific roles. After callbacks, the directors discuss each student and find the best and most successful role for each student while developing the cast list.
When and where are callback and castlists posted?
The callback list is posted the morning after auditions, and callbacks are held that night. The cast list is posted within a couple of days of the final callbacks. Both lists are typically emailed and posted on the BRAVO website.
What is the key to a successful audition?
Think of an audition like a try-out for a sports team or a job interview. The Key is Preparation! Once you select your song and monologue (suggested 3 weeks prior to the audition), practice your song, record it to listen back, share it with your parents or friends for feedback. Should you have the desire to be considered for a main role, you may want to coordinate a vocal or acting lesson prior to the audition. Lastly, ask Ms. Reynolds for the BRAVO Directors for advice, help or direction if you need it. The door is always open at BRAVO! and we want every child to be and feel successful.
