THE AUDITION TOOLBOX
Be ahead of the game!
Get a jump-start on the competition by attending the Baton Rouge Little Theatre Audition Workshop: The Audition Toolbox!
The Audition Toolbox:
The Audition Workshop: The Audition Toolbox is open to anyone ages 16+ who wishes to learn more about the audition process. The day is a one-day, intensive, hands-on workshop facilitated by members of our production teams as well as individuals from the Baton Rouge arts community. Participants will be provided the rare opportunity to go through each step of the audition process and receive instant feedback.
This workshop is for people who have played leads to people who have never set a foot on stage and will cover the audition process. Attendees should come prepared to do a "mock audition" including a song (bring your sheet music).
The workshop will focus on the prepared and the cold audition. If you go to an audition and the director hands you a script and says 'Be ready in five minutes,” how do you use that five minutes? What are the common dance steps that a choreographer is going to ask you to do?
• BEFORE THE AUDITION: Preparation (I didn’t know he had so many lines! or Who’s That?) the Song (Too Much or Too Little), Looking the Part (I just came from working at the City Dump!), among many other topics. Participants will learn the essentials of putting together an effective package to catch the eyes of the director.
• DURING THE AUDITION: Introduction (Sell Yourself or Be Yourself), Breaking the Ice (Being Friendly or How Much is Too Much), Monologue and Song Choices (Hey, STELLA! or Yo, Adrian!), Dancing (My Two Left Feet!). The workshop will dissect the dos and don’ts of audition etiquette, attitude and material choices. Mock auditions will be conducted aiming at distinguishing yourself from others.
• AFTER THE AUDITION: Exit Strategy (Should I Stay or Should I Go?), Call-Backs (Cold Reading…no thanks I am plenty warm enough!) Participants will learn how to make a final impression on the production team before they make their decision.
The Audition Workshop is Saturday, April 24, 2010, from 10AM – 3PM (lunch on your own from Noon – 1PM).
It is FREE and open to the public, but registration is required and space is VERY limited.
