What will we watch and listen for?
- You must speak loudly and clearly.
- Enunciate and articulate.
- If we cannot understand your words, the audience will not be able to understand your words.
- Speak up and project! Think about the person sitting in the back row!
- Do not rush... this is not a speed-reading competition!
- We will notice if you add some character to your lines. How do you think your character would speak?
- We will notice if you CONNECT with your scene partner(s). Are you having a conversation (listening and responding) or are you just saying lines?
- If you are having fun, we will have fun and will want to see you do more.
How should you prepare for auditions?
- Make sure your audition form is submitted.
- Spend some time with each of the SIDES in the Materials section below.
- At a minimum, get comfortable pronouncing all of the words.
- With another person, read each character's lines OUT LOUD.
- Really focus on speaking naturally and understandably. Do not rush.
- After you're comfortable with the words, think about character and try to add something to your lines.
- Try to connect with your scene partner. Don't just say words. Communicate!
- Bring a water bottle and maybe a snack.
