How to do an audition

Step 1: Find a show or a play that you want to audition for

Step 2: Research that show and decide which character(s) you want to audition for

Step 3: Find a monologue that fits the character(s) you are auditioning for. This often has to fit certain requirements such as meeting a character of a close age and background to you so research others plays or shows that fits these requirements

Step 6: The night before the audition make sure you stay hydrated and get plenty of rest

Step 7: The day of the audition make sure you continue to stay hydrated

Step 8: Show up to the audition at least twenty minutes early and fill out any necessary paperwork

Step 9: Go into your audition, answer any questions, and perform your prepared monologue and/or song
