How do I Audition?
1. Look over all of the acting sides given below. (Coming Soon)
2. Pick which character you'd prefer to read for.
3. You do NOT have to memorize any of these parts!
4. Practice performing it aloud with a partner.
5. Make some physical choices as the character while you speak your lines.
6. Show up and do what you practiced for the director.
7. You are being considered for all roles and not just the role you read for. :)
*Pro Tip: Try to have fun with this! Acting is an art, not a science. There is no exact right choice or wrong choice in any scene. Whatever you do, just try to commit fully and have a good time!
