What are some of the WORST musical theater audition mistakes you can make? In this video, we talk about some of those mistakes as well as how to properly prepare for an audition so you can see success in your labor! Now - does every audition always work out the way you want it to? No. Do you ALWAYS get the role you want? No. BUT each of these auditions teaches you something incredibly valuable that will make you a better auditioner for next time because guess what?? Number one thing to remember! THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER SHOW. ALWAYS. If a director says no to you, it is not the end. It just opens the door for a different show and director to say YES to you. There is always another show.

Things we discuss include:

how to pick which role to audition for.
Character descriptions and why they matter.
Being familiar with the show.
Analyzing roles.
How to pick a song.
Figuring out what range to sing in.
How much time should I spend preparing?
How much time should I spend on virtual auditions?
Dressing for auditions.

Each of these topics discussed will make you a stronger and smarter auditioner. Don’t work harder! Work Smarter! But sure, you do need to put in a fair amount of work to make yourself stand out! Don’t get lazy on the job now. If you are in theater it’s part of your J.O.B. to audition. Get good at it. Geek out about how to get better at auditions. In-person OR virtual auditions. Start creating a wardrobe specifically dedicated to your auditions. Always be on the hunt for unique audition apparel. If you’re creating virtual content consider getting a better setup. A light situation, camera, tripod, backdrop. Maybe consider keeping a permanent audition space setup so that you can easily record on a regular basis. Like I said, geek out and be weird about it. All the things. I cannot wait for you to get brave and put yourself out there! If you need help prepping for your audition, reach out to me and I’d love to help!
