Auditions/Portfolio Review
The Musical Theater audition consists of voice, acting, and dance components. All audition selections, as well as the dance placement audition, should demonstrate skill and the potential for development.
- Voice—Perform two prepared contrasting selections from the musical theatre repertoire (one up-tempo and one ballad) no longer than 18-24 measures in length. Bring a recorded accompaniment (digital is preferred; a CD backup is strongly recommended) for your selections as no accompanist will be provided.
- Dance—Participate in a dance placement audition that will be taught as a class, with work in ballet, tap, and jazz. Appropriate dress is expected.
- Acting—Perform two age-appropriate contrasting monologues, each approximately one minute in length. Use your natural speaking voice—no dialects or character voices.
During the audition, you may be asked questions regarding the following topics:
• Career Goals • Arts Experience & Training • College Goals & Expectations • General Background
