We are getting ready for two busy weeks of auditions and callbacks here at Encore. First up, come audition for our awesome student directors on March 11th! It will be a great opportunity to help your peers learn the process of directing, and you would get to be a part of an awesome new production. Then, on March 18th we have very full auditions for The Wizard of Oz! If you have already signed up, or maybe you are considering it but you are hesitant, I’m here to help ease any nerves ahead of these auditions.
So, what are auditions? They are a chance for directors to see you performing and consider you for their show, but more importantly they are a chance for you to perform! Your confidence in the audition room helps directors see your personality more clearly, helping them decide whether or not you are a good fit for the production. In our recent interview with alum Eileen Sugameli, she provided some insight into the importance of courage and confidence in the audition room.
Whether you’ve been in Encore classes or your school play or if you’ve never tried acting before, auditions are an exciting opportunity to show up and try! Our auditions don’t require any preparation, which can be helpful for some people and scary for others, but you can trust that the directing team will guide you through every step of the process. Here’s a secret: directors want you to be successful because it makes their decisions so much easier! So take a deep breath and step confidently into the audition room knowing that you will do your best with the time you have. The rest is out of your hands.
And if you don’t get cast this time, there will always be more auditions! I will draw on Eileen’s wisdom once again:
We cannot wait to see you all at our upcoming auditions!
