Be prepared!
Be in good voice. Stay healthy and hydrated.
Always give yourself plenty of time to review the audition materials.
Always audition with music. You will not be singing a capella in the show. If you
make a mistake while singing or reading lines, do not stop! An audition is like a
performance.
Be professional! Turn cell phones to silent and keep side conversations to a
minimum.
Dress comfortably.
Be friendly and supportive to those around you. Smile and be personable.
Have fun!!
