<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small"><p class="MsoNormal">We're getting many questions on what to prepare for our
auditions. Here are some general guidelines:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">APPOINTMENTS: Usually one song and a short comedic
monologue, and shoes/clothes to move/dance in; if anything else is needed, you
will be told when the appointment is scheduled.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NYC OPEN CALL: 16 bars of a song; if there are a lot of
people we may go to 8 bars</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">NYC CALL-BACKS from Open Call: One song and a short comedic
monologue, and bring shoes/clothes to dance/move in.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ADULTS CHATHAM AUDITIONS: One song and a short comedic
monologue, shoes/clothes to do a short movement/dance call.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CHILDREN CHATHAM AUDITIONS: One song.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ALL: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Song: pick a song that best shows off your voice, it can be
a ballad or up-tempo but be aware that we are often overwhelmed with ballads. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">16 bars: pick those that show off the best part of your
voice.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Short comedic monologue: 1 minute or less, something funny
or light rather than something overly dramatic, with dead puppies or people, a
lot of f-bombs, or dreary subjects in general.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shoes/clothes to dance/move in: we realize that some singers
are not dancers, we just want to see your 'sense of rhythm', and to be able to
see dancers to have them come to a dance call at another time.</p></div></div>
