general audition info for tct:
What to prepare: For a musical audition - If you are singing a song that requires an accompanist, have your sheet music with clear instructions of the cut of the song. If you will be using our speakers, make sure you use a karaoke track so that we can hear your voice to see your ability to sing along with the track. For a straight play - exerts from the scripts may be available at the Tipton County Library (varies per show).
General expectations: The solo portion of the audition is done in front of anyone else auditioning, as well as the directors and some crew members. Come in with a great attitude and willingness to be patient! Oftentimes, there are many students who audition for our youth shows so you may be there for a while. For our straight plays, be prepared to watch others and audition in front of the directors as well as others auditioning.
What we provide: An accompanist on piano, a Bluetooth speaker, the scripts for the cold read and singing portion.
