Audition Workshop Recap


Audition Workshop 2020
Into the Woods Jr.

General questions for any audition
·         Who wrote the show?
·         Who wrote the music? 
·         How old is the show?

Was the show originally a book? Do I have time to read it before the audition so I have a better understanding of the show? 

What is the character breakdown? Who are they – funny- dramatic – sad? 
Which character would I like to be on stage?
(Look for a video of the show on YouTube and watch it to see which characters inspire you) 

Specific questions once you identify a role
Do the requirements of my desired role match my talents?
Can I sing/dance/act the role I want? 
What are the other roles I might enjoy performing? Be ready with at least 3 options.

How is this version (Jr. etc.) different from the full version? Are their songs different – higher or lower than the original? Are your favorite songs in the Jr.version?

Selecting the right song
We have selected an audition selection for the male roles and one for the female roles. Please learn that song and if possible start working on the additional selections we chose for the callbacks. If you are asked to attend callbacks we will help you prepare for the additional pieces.

Is it OK to act while I sing? You should do as much as you can do comfortably. Understand the directors can’t guess how great or funny an actor you are unless you show us. 

Getting to the audition
Always arrive early:Arriving early gives you the best chance to be calm and fill out the paperwork. Arriving late looks bad and tells the casting people you aren’t serious about the show.

Be Respectful to everyone. Being rude to a parent volunteer or producer will not help your chances with the directors. Everyone is important in a show. 

At the audition 
Auditions begin when you arrive to the school and end when you leave the building – don’t talk about other singers/actors/directors – that will always come back to you in the end. A positive attitude can take you a long way. 

Slating
A "slate" is essentially an introduction when you audition.

Speak your Name – Name the Song and what Show it is from. The key to slating is to be natural. Your introduction should not be over the top, and it should certainly not be boring. Just as when you first meet a person, you want to give a good first impression that shows confidence and ease. You want the person watching your slate to think, “That actor is professional and looks friendly.”
Have fun and remember we all want you to succeed!
