- PREPARATION: Be ready to try. For call backs, research the show and learn about the parts.
- BEHAVIOR: Directors want to work with people who behave well. Don’t harm your chances of being cast in a show by diva behavior at auditions and call backs (it happens!)
- Keep your song limited to one minute or less.
- In most cases an upbeat song is best. Show enthusiasm and energy.
- Make sure the song is in the right key for you.
- If you can walk around your house singing the song, it will probably work for you.
- If possible, have a rehearsal tape made in order to practice.
- Introduce yourself with energy and confidence. Hi! My name is _____, I am ___ years old and I’ll be singing _____ from ____.
- Project, make eye contact with the directors and audience, and be well prepared.
- Sell yourself and your song. If you are not a singer, that’s ok; give the directors a show and you will win them over.
- Keep the use of props and costumes to a minimum.
- Smile, smile, smile and energy, energy, energy!
