WELCOME
Welcome to our auditions page. This page is for registered children and youth of Matilda Jr.
Audition Requirements
(and what to expect)
Monologue
Please prepare a monologue no longer than one minute - It could be as short as a couple of lines. I want to see the students demonstrate they can memorize lines. It could be anything from a movie, play, musical, TV show. There are tons of free resources out there...Google away. Would recommend finding something that demonstrates an emotional range.
***Note - never use a monologue or dialogue from the play for which you are auditioning***
Improv
Students will be asked to do an improv scene on their own or with one of the directors. We will play an easy and well-known improv game that will be easy to pick up for improv beginners.
Cold Read
Students will cold read some dialogue with the directors.
***Note - if your child has a reading disability or is still a developing reader, please let us know in advance. We will skip that part or send you a page of dialogue to practice before the audition.
Singing
Students will prepare a song (or part of a song). Choose something that accurately demonstrates your range and tells a good story. We want to see a character singing. If time is an issue, if we may stop the song in the middle. This means we have heard what we need and isn't a reflection of the performance. You can sing a cappella or send us a track at least a day ahead of time.
