Here are a few reminders for success during a Virtual Audition:

  • Control your audition space
    • Make sure the audition area has adequate light, and that you can be seen clearly.
    • Your background should be a solid color, with minimal distractions
    • Make sure we can hear you. Use earbuds or headphones if needed. Avoid excess noise during your audition.
  • Make sure you have access to a camera that is steady and clear.
  • Check your tech logistics. Make sure your internet connection is strong, and that you are unmuted when you are ready to audition.
