Tips for Auditioning

• Bring a headshot and resume if you have one.  If you don’t, that’s okay.  You can put your experience on the audition form.

• Know your type (age range, body type, performance style) and focus on the roles that are appropriate for you.

• Do your homework.

  • Know as much as you can about the show. 

  • Know what role(s) you are interested in auditioning for, but do not limit yourself to just that role. 

  • Listen to the music.  Be familiar with it. 

• You will not need to memorize a monologue to audition.

• Auditions vary between companies and areas, but here at Theatre Tuscaloosa, they generally consist of cold readings from the script with other auditionees.

• Choosing songs wisely.  (only required for musical auditions - not play auditions)

  • Prepare 16 bars (measures), but know the whole song.  Have music ready for the pianist.  Mark clear stops and starts.  Tape your music to a file folder or put it in a small three ring binder for the pianist.  Loose music can often get out of order and lost.  Rehearse it with a pianist before you audition to make sure you are singing in the right key!

  • KNOW YOUR SONG!  It will help with anxiety.

  • For Theatre Tuscaloosa, a song in the “style” of the show or by the same composers/lyricist is generally preferred.  For Anything Goes the music is in the style of Cole Porter

  • If you are going to do a song from the show, BE FABULOUS!
