We want you to feel confident, prepared, and ready to do your best work. Here are some tips to help you shine in your audition.
Singing
Length & Selection
We are asking for 32 bars, but this does not need to be exact.
Aim for approximately 90 seconds of singing that shows your voice at its best.
Start Strong
Avoid long introductions. Make sure your sheet music is clearly marked
or your track is cued so you can begin singing quickly and confidently.
Show Your Strengths
If you have a strong belt or a high note, make sure it’s included.
Choose material that highlights what you do best.
Connection Matters
We’re not just listening for notes—we’re watching how you communicate.
Stay connected to the text and the intention of the song.
Choosing Your Song
Pick something that helps us understand your voice, your personality, and the kind of role you are excited to play.
Match the Range
Consider the part you are interested in and look at the range that
character is required to sing. Choose a song with a similar range so
we can hear you in the right vocal neighborhood.
Follow the Performer
Look up actors who have played the role you want and see what other
shows they have done. Their repertoire can give you smart ideas for
songs that may fit the character or vocal style.
Think Contemporary
Legally Blonde is a contemporary show, so you may audition
with a pop or rock song. We will hear you sing music from the show at
callbacks, so feel free to think outside the box for your audition.
Choose a Song You Can Act
The best audition songs are not just impressive — they give you
something to play. Choose a song with a clear point of view, emotional
shift, or story so we can see your personality and acting choices.
Show Your Best 90 Seconds
Do not worry about finding the most obscure or difficult song. Choose
material that sits well in your voice and lets you sound confident,
prepared, and expressive.
Avoid Guesswork
If you are not sure whether a song is a good fit, ask a teacher,
music director, or trusted performer for feedback before auditions.
A second set of ears can help you choose wisely.
Dancing
It’s About Learning
We are evaluating how you learn more than how quickly you pick up choreography.
Effort Over Perfection
We want actors who will work hard to move well—even if dance isn’t your strongest area.
Stay Present
If you make a mistake, keep going. We care more about how you recover than whether you get everything right.
Positive Attitude
A great attitude goes a long way. Be open, focused, and ready to try.
Acting
Be Willing to Play
Come ready to explore. Don’t lock yourself into one interpretation—show us your flexibility and imagination.
Take Direction
We may ask you to try something new. What matters is how you adjust and respond.
Make Clear Choices
Bold, specific choices are more interesting than safe ones—even if they don’t all land perfectly.
Tell the Story
Focus on communicating clearly. We want to understand your character and your intention.
