- The combined duration of the songs should not exceed five minutes.
- You may bring your own accompanist or use the accompanist provided. If you use our accompanist, you must bring the music of your songs in the key in which you will perform. Please ensure the music is either taped to fold out or is inserted in a folder. Please do NOT bring loose pages.
- Please note that backing tapes are not permitted. All songs must be performed with live piano accompaniment.
- NOTE: Choose songs that are appropriate for your age, experience and are not at the extremes of your vocal range. We prefer to hear performances of works that you feel comfortable with rather than something that will cause you difficulty.
- Acting
- You must perform one monologue from memory in English not exceeding two minutes in duration.
- Please provide the audition panel with a copy of your speech.
- Note: Choose an acting piece that is appropriate for your age and experience. If possible, read the entire play from which your speech is taken. This will give you a greater understanding when performing a small section of the play. Use minimum 'props' and only if they are essential to the piece.
- Dance
