Is this your first time auditioning for a professional theatre? Are you interested in making your audition more effective this year? Are you an adult equity or non-equity actor unfamiliar with the Roanoke Children’s Theatre? Then this workshop is for you!
The key to having a successful audition for a musical or play depends on how you prepare yourself! This workshop will give you some tips on preparing your audition for Roanoke Children‘s Theatre‘s upcoming 2010-2011 season. RCT’s casting director will demonstrate what to do and what to avoid at any of your upcoming auditions. You will learn how to present your song or monologue effectively, prepare mentally, learn what the director is looking for, how to prepare, how to dress for the audition and much more. This workshop will introduce you to the RCT audition format, get you acquainted with the space you will be auditioning in, and give you a chance to meet the artistic staff of the Roanoke Children’s Theatre. This workshop will also be a great opportunity for parents to ask any questions they might have about their child’s involvement in a professional production.
