Step 2:
Record your audition!
Nothing fancy is required-- recording on your phone is fine. Just make sure that you are clearly visible (good lighting!) and audible. Try to focus your camera to capture a "waist up" shot. It might be best to do a short test run first.
Remember, you are expected to prepare:
- Two contrasting 32 bar cuts of songs (musical theatre literature) that showcase your voice.
- A 2-3 minute monologue from a published play.
NOTE: All material should be memorized. For the musical audition, please either sing with an accompanist or a recorded track. (Hint: there are lots of karaoke tracks on YouTube, but also a lot of accompanists out there willing to cut you a track for a reasonable fee.)

Step 3:

Attach a PDF of your completed audition form.
Submit your audition video by attaching it to the email or sharing it via Google Drive, Dropbox, etc., (please make sure it's downloadable!) If you have trouble with either of these methods, you may choose to upload it as a YouTube video. We really prefer one of the other methods, but YouTube is okay if the others absolutely won't work. (We recommend making it an unlisted video on YouTube!)

Step 5:
Interview
After viewing your audition, we will contact you to set up a 20-40 minute interview on Zoom. This is no reason to panic! We just want to get to know you as a person a little bit. Parents/Guardians are welcome to be there at the beginning to say hello, but students should take it from there!
Step 6:
Notification
You will receive another email notifying you of whether or not you have been admitted to the program ASAP - ideally within a week!
If you are admitted, you will need to pay your $300 deposit within 14 days to officially accept and reserve your space in the program.
After that, half of the remaining balance will be due June 1st and the other half by July 1st.
If you are not admitted, don't get discouraged! If you would like, we would be happy to set up a time to discuss your audition and ways to improve for next time-- then we hope you'll reapply next year!
