Audition Requirements
  • Dance video requirements: Submit a video no longer than one minute of any dance style. Dance must be accompanied with live or recorded music.
  • Acting video requirements: Present two, one-to-two-minute monologues, one from a contemporary play 2000 or after and the other can be classical.
  • Vocal audition requirements: Sing two songs from the American Musical Theater. Songs must be memorized and in two different styles (for example: ballad and up tempo, or contemporary and golden age, belted and legit). Please sing complete songs with no cuts, unless cutting a dance break or underscoring.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Auditions should be shot in “landscape” and the fame should be “face to waist”. Each song should be recorded in “one take” – no starting and stopping your video recording mid-song. Please state your first and last name, age and the city where you live. Include the song titles, show titles, and composer of each song/show. When you record, we must be able to hear both the accompaniment as well as your voice. Live piano accompaniment is encouraged for your video. If you must use pre-recorded accompaniment, piano accompaniment is preferred over pre-recorded orchestral accompaniment. A Capella video auditions are not permitted. If there are any questions regarding the vocal audition requirements, please contact Mike Stevens at mstevens@colburnschool.edu. We may also ask you to do a live-via-Zoom audition if we need more information than your video provides.
