​
How Do I Get Prepared?
  • Memorize your music
  • Don't just sing -- perform the song as if you were on stage in front of an audience
  • Use appropriate facial expressions, body motion, gestures to communicate the music
  • Let your voice fill the space -- project!
  • Sing as often as you can in front of people who will give you honest feedback -- your parents love you but they may not always be honest about how you sound. Sing for friends and family who will give you honest, constructive feedback.
  • Record yourself singing and watch the recording. Pay attention to your face, your vocal volume and how well you use your entire body to communicate the music. Take note of what you need to improve. Improve it, record it and watch again. Repeat this process often.
AUDITION 2: DANCING
What Will I Have to Do?
  • Watch the videos and dance along.
​
How Do I Get Prepared?
  • ​Please stretch daily and warm up before the audition.
  • Listen to music from "Beauty and the Beast" and try counting the beat of the song, clap to the rhythm, etc.
  • Find someone who takes dance and ask for their help to practice kicks, basic turns (Chainne turns, single pirouettes, pique turns), and jumps (saute, assemble, and leaps).
AUDITION 3: ACTING
What Will I Have to Do?
  • Each student will prepare, memorize and deliver a 1 minute monologue

What Will The Director Be Looking For?
  • Professionalism
    • Are you being respectful?
    • Is your attire appropriate for an audition?
  • Voice
    • Does your voice fill the room (projecting)?
    • Are you clearly articulating your words?
  • Characterization
    • Are you making good choices to represent your character?
    • Are you staying "in character"?
  • Energy
    • Are you showing enthusiasm for the audition?

How Do I Get Prepared?
  • Pick up an audition packet outside of Mr. Velarde's classroom (room 3106) 
    • Review the packet for ways to properly present yourself when delivering a monologue.
  • Practice your monologue often until you can comfortably deliver it from memory​
  • Make a video recording of your monologue and watch it. Pay attention to your face and your acting choices. Take note of what you need to improve, improve it and do it again. Repeat this process often.
