What to expect at an audition
What to expect at an
audition
The Rome Little Theatre is a volunteer organization. As such, auditions are
conducted so that veteran actors and those who are new to the stage all feel comfortable
throughout the audition process. No experience is necessary to audition at The
Rome Little Theatre; the theatre welcomes new talent and all those interested in
participating in a show are encouraged to audition. Although each director may
adjust auditions to suit his or her directing style, the following characteristics are
generally common for all auditions:
|
Dry Reading
|
|
Those who audition are asked to go onstage (most often in groups of two or more)
before a casting committee and others who are auditioning. Each person
auditioning is instructed to read from a provided script. Usually a few
pages are read at a time. During an audition, you may be asked to return
to the stage several times to read for a different role, read a different
selection from the script, or read with a different partner or partners.
Throughout the audition process, the casting committee will formulate casting
decisions based on many factors including: expression, projection, energy, stage
presence, and clarity.
|
|
Singing
|
|
When auditioning for a musical, you will be asked to sing--sometimes it is a
simple song such as "Happy Birthday" or "Mary Had a Little
Lamb;" other times, those auditioning for lead roles may be asked to sing a
prepared piece. If you do not feel comfortable singing, please speak with
the director prior to auditions, express your comfort level, and decide if a
musical is the right show for you. If you prefer not to sing alone, often
there are chorus parts in which your singing is part of a large group.
