Upcoming Auditions!!!

Throughout the week I get a lot of students asking about upcoming auditions and performance opportunities, so I will be blogging periodically about the upcoming West Michigan auditions.  I know there is a lot of anxiety and fear associated with auditioning and I do my best to make sure that my students go into each audition fully prepared and looking professional from their introduction to their final "Thank you".  However, working with me in the studio and infront of your friends and family at home will only get you so far.  The best way to feel more comfortable with the audition process is to..you guessed it..audition! 

Here are some wonderful opportunities to do just that:

Important Notes On Auditions
Be prepared to write down your clothing sizes and make sure you have examined the rehearsal schedule and noted ALL conflicts dates. This is critical. If you are cast in the show, you will be expected to be at all rehearsals unless you have indicated otherwise at auditions. CHECK YOUR SCHEDULE BEFORE COMING TO AUDITIONS!
To audition for any CCP show, children under the age of 16 MUST be accompanied by a parent at the audition and have the consent form (included in the audition form) filled out and signed.
You don't need to prepare any material for the audition. We'll be reading parts from the script for the show.
Dress comfortably. Auditions can be a nervous time for people. Might as well be as comfortable as possible.
Please come at the beginning of the audition time so you hear announcements and have a chance to fill out the audition form if you have not already done so. Please print and fill out the audition form before coming to auditions if possible.
