AUDITION TIPS:

Step 1: Research the Company & Audition Specifics
-As soon as you have decided to audition, make an appointment right away if one is necessary. Some auditions have a limited number of spaces. Making an audition appointment early will also give you more choice of when you audition, allowing you to choose what fits into your schedule.
-Find as much information as possible about the production company and the director.
-Find out important info: who, what, where, when, what the requirements are, etc.
-Mark the audition date on your calender!

Step 2: Research the Show
-Find and study a plot summary, look at the cast requirements, make a note of the roles you are eligible for.
-Listen to the music from the show if possible. Pay particular attention to any songs sung by the characters you are suited for.
-Read the script if at all possible. Take note of scenes that might be used for a cold reading.
-Research the time period in which the play or musical is set.

Step 3: Choose Your Audition Song & Monologue
-Research characters similar to those you are aiming for in your audition
-Find a song that you think would be a suitable range for the character your aiming for
-Try not to pick a song or monologue that has been over done. For a list, see for monologue and for songs

Step 4: Prepare Other Skills & Rehearse Thoroughly
-Be prepared for cold readings (when you read from the script without ever seeing the material before
-If you need help with singing, seek online singing lessons for you song, or a choral director
-Most important: Have fun and show them what you've got!

Comment by Rachel on January 4, 2009 at 2:42am: Alix, the best place to look for monologues is in published plays! I know that sounds like a long process ('cause it is), but they also sell books that are a compilation of monologues from published plays. Make sure that you have one that is from a play, not just a stand-along monologue. Besides being rather inane, those monologues aren't really taken seriously, at least where I live. :)

Comment by Alix Black on December 25, 2008 at 11:09pm: wheres a good place 2 get monologues cause i can never find a good one! HELP!

Comment by Terryn on November 24, 2008 at 1:21pm: well not useless,
we just have to wait a while (which could be a very long while) to see if there will be a national tour or smaller production of 13 that some of us can audition for.

Comment by Emily on November 21, 2008 at 10:09pm: well i think theyre only closing because of the economy, so i dont know about you all but im going to do a fundraiser... i believe that if you really are passionate about performing and like this show like you say you do, you WILL agree with me.if youd like to join me in this atempt to save 13 from crashing down from broadway... reply "i do"
