[Capdist-auditions] how to prepare for a Mac-Haydn Theatre audition

[Jesse DeGroodt]

We're getting many questions on what to prepare for our auditions. Here are
some general guidelines:



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.



NYC OPEN CALL: 16 bars of a song; if there are a lot of people we may go to
8 bars



NYC CALL-BACKS from Open Call: One song and a short comedic monologue, and
bring shoes/clothes to dance/move in.



ADULTS CHATHAM AUDITIONS: One song and a short comedic monologue,
shoes/clothes to do a short movement/dance call.



CHILDREN CHATHAM AUDITIONS: One song.



ALL:

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.



16 bars: pick those that show off the best part of your voice.



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.



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.
