What will I do during my audition?
- The audition has two different parts: 1) Dance 2) Singing/Acting 1) For the Dance audition: You will perform a brief dance combination in groups. A video teaching the Dance Combination was sent out via Google Classroom and Email. Dancing not your thing? Just do your best to show your personality. 2) During your Singing/Acting Audition: You will sing a short selection of the song "Be the Hero." You will read a short scene ("side") with 3 other actors. The scene is posted below. The sheet music for "Be the Hero" is available on the Classroom along with an audio recording of Mrs. Tremblay's pre-audition workshop. Not on our Classroom? Email Anna DeBettencourt.
