West Sixth Talent caught up with Suzanne from Midwest Model Management to find out what tips Midwest recommends before an audition.
- Always be prepared for your audition.
- Arrive thirty minutes prior to the audition time. This will allow ample time to check in, warm up and check out your competition.
- Bring at least 2 headshots and resumes. Photos should reflect your current physical likeness. Continually update your photos and resume so you are always current.
- Do not chew gum (directors hate it).
- When attending callbacks, wear the same attire worn at the audition. Remember, act as you did in the audition that is why they called you back!
- Be confident, smile and always have a positive attitude.
- Get excited about everything you are asked to do.
Actors/Improvisation:
- Be prepared to recite without the opportunity for preparation.
- The ability to use different voices and dialects are a plus.
- Prepare a dramatic and comical monologue no more than 2 minutes in length.
Singers:
- Bring 2 selections of sheet music, one up-tempo and one ballad. (Accompaniment ready)
- Be prepared to sing 16 bars. (Be ready to show your best)
- Know your vocal range, and use it to its best potential.
- Sheet music should have full musical notation and be in the key in which you will perform. If the audition requires movement, dress appropriately
Dancers:
- Wear appropriate dance attire.
- Bring appropriate dance shoes.
- If the audition requires singing, bring at least 2 selections of sheet music, one up-tempo and one ballad. Let us know what tips you want to share!
