Audition Tips
- Pick something familiar and easy to learn – a song or monologue you’ve already learned for a play or recital is a great choice! Otherwise, think favourite movies or musicals.
- Make sure your piece is age-appropriate, both in content and vocal range. For example, a song like “Defying Gravity” from Wicked is written for an adult woman to sing and is challenging for a young girl to sing well.
- Try to have your piece fully memorized; this helps so much with your confidence!
- Practice your song in advance with the track you will be using.
- Do a mock audition with a family member, friend, or teacher so you can get used to performing in front of another person.
- Remember that the audition panel is rooting for you to succeed! Nerves are natural before an audition, but there’s no need to be intimidated. Through the audition process, we’re hoping to see a little of what makes you special, and what unique qualities you will bring to our program.

- Plan to arrive ten minutes before your scheduled audition time in case of traffic or delays. If you can, warm up your voice in the car on the way. You’ll need about five minutes before your audition to complete an information sheet.
- Bring your sheet music, hole-punched and double-sided, in a binder for the accompanist. You’ll get both back after your audition!
- Wear something comfortable, clean, and professional; pick an outfit that makes you feel confident!
- Introduce yourself when you enter, and bring all your materials with you: headshot and resume, completed audition form, and sheet music.
- Make sure to film in a well-lit area, and to shoot your self-tape in a medium or wide shot.
