Before the Audition

Apply online prior to the audition

Prepare a headshot/resume (Optional)

• Please do not use selfies in place of a headshot.

Prepare your audition material

• Visit the specific Entertainment Opportunity page to read the preparation requirements of the role.
• Practice your audition material. Keep in mind your delivery and timing. Be sure not to rush the moments in your piece and remember to think about the emotion behind what you're portraying and play the part.
• Choose fresh material that caters to the show/role you are auditioning for. Original material is not preferred.
