Think through school concerts, religion, dance, sports, family activities, work etc. so that these important conflicts are honestly recorded on your audition form. We cast based on the conflicts you are honest about and if NEW conflicts arise, your part MAY be re-cast.

    Here are some tips to keep in mind when auditioning:

    • Your audition begins when you first arrive at GREAT Studios and does not end until you leave the building. We’re looking to put together a team of actors that will work together well.   How you act matters as much as how well you act.
    • Be properly prepared. Practice your song working on diction, volume and facial expressions. Work with a teacher at school, a choral director at your church or ask the advice of a vocal coach ahead of time.
    • Dress appropriately. Keep your hair out of your face and hands out of pockets. Wear rubber soled shoes you can move in.
    • When it's your turn to audition: Introduce yourself. Project! Articulate! Have a positive attitude! Have fun!
    • Don't say you can't do something. Try it. Directors want casts who are willing to take chances.
    • After the audition: Think about what you have learned. Then forget about "how you did". SO many factors affect casting that it is a waste of time to worry about it. Feel good about yourself. There are MANY people that would not have the courage to audition - and you did! Come back and try again if you don't get cast this time!
