-  Read the audition materials carefully!  If you don’t
understand something, ask someone!


-  Prepare your song!  Choose one of the cuttings you will be
successful at.  Be sure to practice and plan to sing with
accompaniment.  If you don’t know how to pronounce
something, look it up! Make sure you understand the context of
the song: is it funny or dramatic, etc.  Plan to sing your song in
character with expression. Plan out movements and gestures
that fit with the song and the character!


- Check out the Theatre Productions section of the HMS
theatre site: http://heritagemstheatre.blogspot.com/
This section has sample songs, audition cuttings, information
about characters, etc.


- Plan to attend the Audition Workshop on
January 22 from 3:00-4:15!  This workshop will
provide you with lots of tips and information you will need to
know for your audition!  You will also get to practice the
audition songs!


-  Don’t forget to proofread your audition form for errors!


- Sign up for an audition time!  Write the time down so you will
remember!
