Think of your audition as a job interview.ĭirector Joe Clark notes that theatre is “called show business, not show art.” He urges auditionees to “dress like a professional going to a job interview for your dream career, because you are!”Īuditionees also need to realize that their clothing choices and their demeanor are being observed throughout their time at the audition location, says Marina Hunley-Graham, artistic director of Unto These Hills, the outdoor drama in Cherokee, NC. Here are 10 of their suggestions for your next audition, along with a few additional pointers gleaned from my own experiences as a New York actor, a company rep and now a professor.
Despite the diversity of the theatres, responses from the company reps were tellingly similar. The responding companies represented a diverse mix of producing theatres, including Hershey Entertainment, American Shakespeare Center, Missoula Children’s Theatre, Stella Adler Studio (NY), Matt Davenport Productions, Florida Repertory Theatre, Bigfork Summer Playhouse and the outdoor drama Unto These Hills. Sixteen company reps responded to the survey, offering their advice on what to wear. So, what is the best attire for an audition? SETC asked that question of the company representatives who attend SETC Professional Auditions. Therefore, you need to choose your clothing carefully. What you wear and how you present yourself can help open a door – or possibly cost you a job before you say the first word of your monologue. It’s your appearance: how you look and act from the minute you enter the audition space. The first thing that’s judged when you enter an audition room isn’t the monologue you’ve carefully chosen or the song you’ve worked hard to perfect. 2021 Outdoor Theatre Pandemic Assistance Grant.Betsey Horth Arts Administration Advancement Grant.Steve Bayless Undergraduate Scholarship.Keynote Emerging Artist of Promise (KEAP) Awards.Innovative Playwriting Instruction Award.For Colleges, Universities & Training Programs.Graduate Auditions & Interviews at LiNK.
