What to Bring to dance Auditions -
Yourself, Comfortable Clothes and Water Just come prepared to dance, with clothes you can move in (i.e.
not jeans) and shoes that won't mark the studio floor. With large numbers of
people working out together the auditions can get quite hot, so bring a bottle
of drink too. But basically, you don't really need anything but yourself- just
the energy and enthusiasm to join in!
The audition are usually choreographers. They have an idea of how many and the
type of dancers they want. Auditions are separated into different style dances,
so they select who they want from the most appropriate session. Depending on
what choreography is approved, usually there are auditions for:
Street Dance
Hip Hop
Jazz
Ballet
Tap
Contemporary
Salsa
Break
A choreographer might be selecting dancers from auditions
that they want audition for too - for example, they may be choosing people from
the jazz class, but they want to try out to be in a jazz dance different from
their own. So do not be put off if your auditioners are switching between
dancing with you in the audition and then sitting out and watching at the front
Dance Auditions General Procedure
Typically the auditions consists of a warm up and then a dance routine of some
description. Once the audition is over, the choreographers have a list of
numbers of the people they would like in their dance. When all the auditions
have been done, the choreographers have a long meeting to sort out who will be
in each dance. Some dancers are asked to be in too many dances (i.e. more than
they want/can be in), so the clashes have to be established and sorted out.
Dance Auditions Advice
from Casting Directors :
Ask any
casting director what matters
most when an actor shows up to
an audition. Most will say,
"They need to be prepared."
(Showing up on time can't hurt
either.)
These should be obvious, but
it's surprising how many actors
make a bad impression with
something as simple as
inappropriate behavior. It can
knock you out before you step
into the ring. Remember: Casting
directors already have the job —
you don't. So you need to prove
yourself to them, not the other
way around.
Other suggestions we heard
from CDs: Avoid unnecessary
chit-chat. Don't linger in the
room for too long after you
read. Stay away from using most
props. And avoid making physical
contact with the casting
director during your audition.
A feeling of desperation is
another sure way not to get a
callback. Never view an audition
as nerve-wracking nightmare, or
make it look that way. Consider
each audition an opportunity: A
chance to perform for an
audience — albeit a small one.
Or walk into the audition
saying, "No matter what happens,
I'll do the best I can today."
Remember: The casting director
is not here to judge you
harshly; he or she simply wants
to find the perfect person for
the role. That could be you.
Actors sometimes seek out
coaching for auditions, but
primarily for large film/TV
roles, or for admittance to an
MFA program. Many believe it is
worth the expense — if only for
the boost in self-confidence. In
last-minute emergencies, actors
even resort to phone coaching,
although that's not an ideal
situation.
However, with or without
coaching, one trap to avoid is
too much preparation. Read the
sides carefully but don't freeze
your approach — you may be asked
to change it. Longtime coach and
acting teacher Craig Wallace
says he never sends actors out
100 percent set for the
audition. "If you're over
prepared, you have no
flexibility," he says. "And you
don't know what 50 percent of
the process is until you walk
into the room.
"You can't have the piece
controlling you. You have to
leave room for the circumstances
of where you're going to be."
Dance Audition Tips !
Come at least 15 minutes
earlier to your cal time.
Make sure not to eat at
least two hours before your
call time.
Try not to talk with anyone
in the audition room. Kindly
ask them not to disturb your
preparation. No, it is not
rude, it is necessary.
When you come into the
audition, it is strongly
recommended to arrive as the
character. Remember that
this is why you are here
for. Your own persona can
come out only after the
casting director thanked you
for coming.
If you require to bring your
own monologue, always choose
something that feels
familiar to you. Don't take
inaccuracy risks when you
auditioning. Leave the risks
in your acting class.
Choose a strong piece that
don't exceed 5 minutes. A
good efficient length would
be 2-3 minutes.
Remember that there was some
action before the character
begun to speak. Think what
happen before your character
speaks its first line. It
will help you get into the
character faster and most
likely eliminate some
disturbing butterflies.
Don't rush your lines. Even
if you feel you lost it. You
are not a mind reader, and
therefore don't know what
the casting director is
looking for.
Many times the casting
director would tell you to
say your name to the camera.
Sometimes this is the only
thing you have to do in your
audition. Don't take this
thing lightly. It is the way
you present yourself, even
with one line that can get
you the audition.

OPEN
DANCE
AUDITIONS
What
are Open Dance Auditions
?
Open
Dance Auditions
are a form of invitations to attend
a casting interview conducted by a
director or a casting director. Not
like scheduled Acting Auditions, an
open call will usually have no
screening before, such as: headshot
, resume , or demo reel submissions.
Open Audition Calls most likely have
a lot of more actors attending. It's
first come first served kinda of
thing.
Many professional actors don't like
open auditions as much as schedule
auditions for many reasons. The wait
time is usually much longer, the
crowed is usually an amateur one.
There are however many professional
productions that use open auditions
calls because they have to go into
production very quick. Those
productions are usually theatre
shows and musicals like Broadway
productions.
Open Dance Audition Tips !
Show
up Early -
Try to get there as early as you
can. Casting directors are
usually fresh in the early
stage, and get very anxious in
the mid to late stages.
While
you Wait - Relax, allow
yourself to loosen up and
prepare.
Don't
be loud- Try to keep it down
while waiting for your turn to
audition. Others are trying to
focus on their audition and so
should you. You don't want to be
remembered as anything but a
good performer.
Come
prepared -
Production offices are always
short on pens, sides and so on.
Bring your own.

We are here to fight for you, but we
can't do it alone. We need you to fight with us. Stop paying to all
online services that take your money. Even if it is a FREE trial, or
only $1 a month. The truth is that most of the online services for
actors and models are owned by the same people. Those people are cloning
their sites (with different designs) and making you pay by spamming your
Emails, or by promoting their other sites online, splitting their
casting notices and audition list, so you will have to pay in a few
places.
SAY ENOUGH!!!
WHY
ACTORS KEEP PAYING FOR ONLINE SERVICES THAT THEIR ONLY PURPOSE IS TO
TAKE YOUR MONEY?!
