Song Choice Tips:
-
Prepare a song that showcases your range and abilities.
-
This is a great opportunity to show your musical theatre skills by choosing a song that requires you to be in character.
-
Choose a song that the character you’re auditioning for might sing, or is tonally similar to the show A Year with Frog and Toad.
Acting: Short excerpts for each character will be added soon. As you prepare, don’t worry so much about memorizing, but more with being familiar with the material! Focus on showcasing your emotional range and your understanding of the text. We will have printed copies at the audition.
