All students wishing to be cast in Bye Bye Birdie must audition during one of the four audition days. Sign up for an audition slot on the Black Box call board. Once a day is full, there will be no more auditions on that day. If you need a specific day, sign up early. Audition Requirements 1. You must perform a song from a musical. The song should be no longer than one minute. You will be asked to stop if you go over time. You must provide your own accompaniment. Your accompaniment may be a CD, iPod or a live pianist. If you use a CD or iPod, your track must not have any singers on it. Your performance of the song should not only show off your voice, but should demonstrate your ability to make the song come alive and be expressive. 2. You must perform a monologue. The monologue should be 1 minute or less. It may come from a play, tv show or movie. The monologue must be memorized and should be something that you can portray well. Please avoid monologues that require accents or affected speaking. 3. You must participate in a dance call. You will be taught a dance combination and given 30-40 minutes to practice it. You will then perform the dance combination two times in groups of three. Any student that is not going for a principle role may omit the monologue from your audition. Any student that is a very strong dancer or very strong actor but is not comfortable with your singing voice can opt to sing Happy Birthday for the audition. Students that sing Happy Birthday will not be considered for principal roles. Vocal majors are not permitted to sing Happy Birthday.
