NOLATOWN's Set the Stage Productions will constantly strive for the best performances possible, and this can only be achieved with the best talent possible. One of the ways to get great performers involved is to communicate with them clearly. Below is Set the Stage's audition criteria. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your interest in our productions and we hope to see you at an audition soon.
AUDITION CRITERIA
DOCUMENTATION: Head shot and resume is preferred. If you do not have either one or both, your audition card and photo (that will be taken during the audition process) will suffice.
MUSICALS: One prepared song from a Broadway show. The song should show off the range of the singer and be within their range. An accompanist will be provided and no recorded music will be allowed. Be prepared to sing the entire song. If there are a lot of actors auditioning you may be requested to only sing a portion of the song. If you sing an up-tempo song you may be asked to also sing a ballad and visa versa. (NOTE: The key to a good audition is to be prepared. Don't audition if you are not properly prepared; it is counter-productive for both you and the directors.)
There will be a dance audition, so please dress appropriately for movement. In most cases all actors will be asked to complete the dance audition even for a non-dancing part. Consideration will be given if you are auditioning for a non-dancing part.
Cold/warm readings from the script will be conducted for principal or featured parts. If there is a specific part you are auditioning for, be sure to list it on your audition card at the audition.
NON MUSICALS: Cold/warm readings from the script will be conducted for all parts. If there is a specific part you are auditioning for, be sure to list it on your audition card at the audition.
