The beginning of school brings lots of fun activities, some homework, and new friends. A lot of the time, with theatre or music activities there are auditions that go hand in hand with it. I know that I am preparing for a week of auditions next week, and I'm trying to figure out all of the songs, dances, and scenes I'll need to know for these auditions.
In addition to these auditions, schoolwork is also present during the year. The balance between school and theatre is very important and delicate. Schoolwork comes first in my family and at my school because I attend a public school, and I have plans on attending a non-conservatory college program. I am taking classes that I want to be taking that are core subjects and not performing arts, and am excited for this school year. Auditions can be stressful. Knowing what you are singing/performing is mostly all of the battle. Being prepared is the number one tip to succeeding in auditions to overcome nerves or fear. Being unprepared just generates new problems to be concerned about. Give yourself at least 1-2 weeks of practicing a song fully prepared and ready to audition with to guarantee the best audition you have in you!Videos
