Taping Instructions
Step 1: The Set-up
- Please make sure you are in good lighting and a solid background. A wall works just fine.
- Nothing else should be in the shot except for you. Please make sure your audio is clear. You should be in a three-quarter shot for the entirety of the audition. Please shoot your audition in landscape (horizontally)
- Face forward and look just off camera, but do not audition straight into the camera lens.
Step 2: Record
- Please state your name and the repertoire you will be performing.
- If performing monologue(s), at least one should be contemporary – if performing a second, a classic piece is welcome, but so is a contrasting or complementary contemporary piece.
- If singing, we would like to see 16-32 bar cut of a musical theatre or pop-rock song (please be sure to act a story through both music theatre and popular music repertoire). Musically, the show most closely aligns with late 20th and early 21st century musical theatre styles, but anything that shows off your best performance is welcome.
- If you are a dancer, please include a dance reel if available.
Step 3: Upload
- Upload your pre-screen video to Vimeo or YouTube. You may select it as unlisted, but please do not password-protect your video.
