What to prepare for your audition: • You must select and learn one monologue of your choice AND one scene from the options found HERE. • You must submit a copy of the scene and monologue in advance for the audition reader to use. • Submit an actor resume, if you have one. • We will share more information with you on how to do this once you have registered. What to expect on audition day: • It is an on-camera in-person audition, in front of a panel. • There will be a waiting room; please allow for a wait time up to 15 minutes. • You will be asked to present your two contrasting pieces (one monologue and one scene; not more than one minute each). • We will have a reader off-camera to be your scene partner. • Be ready to share and talk about your experiences as an actor or bring your creative resume. Tips for the audition material: • Find contrasting material/scripts. • Look for a strong range in emotion/characters. For example, one comedic and one dramatic piece. • Find characters who are age appropriate and realistic to your casting range. • Memorize and rehearse the monologue and scene (two-person scenes are best). • Make the characters your own. Don’t recreate other actors’ performances. • Remember: the monologue and scene should be no more than one minute each. Don’t like waiting? No problem. You can submit a self-taped audition for us to review at any time. Call our Admissions office at 1-800-661-4101 to find out how.
