10 tips to a successful audition!

1.Be on time. Punctuality is important, time is money.
2.Have Resume and Headshot cut to 8 x 10 and attached to make one sheet you hand them, many casting directors will not except anything else.
3.Have 16 bars of a song, with sheet music, picked out that compliments what you are auditioning for. **Don't sing Lady Gaga's Bad Romance for A Chorus Line Audition!
4.Always have all of your dance shoes with you! You never know if you will need to do pointe, tap or wear character heels.
5.Have appropriate attire with you. Always were tights and leotard so you can layer over it. For example, a skirt to do ballroom in, some stylish clothes to do hip hop in. Some auditions will have you in your tights and leotard only!
6.Have a fresh face of makeup and your hair pulled back off of your face! Casting directors want to see what you look like!
7.Always make sure you stand somewhere where you will be able to pick up the audition combination.
8.Be kind and considerate to those around you. A cattle call audition can be 100's of people.
9.SMILE! Even when you are not dancing!
10.Last but not least, if you mess up, SELL it! Sometimes it isn't about nailing the combination perfectly. It is about the performance!
