AUDITIONS

Seeking: Singers who can dance and dancers who can sing! To be considered for casting, you are required to complete BOTH the group dance and individual vocal audition. Ages 16+ invited to audition.

Auditions will be held Monday, October 14 @ 6:00PM at The Strand. Actors will be seen in order of arrival. Call backs will be scheduled as needed. Please bring or prepare the following:

• Headshot
• Resume
• Vocal Audition: Prepare two Christmas/holiday songs that best show off your voice, with an accompaniment track. Tracks can be played via CD, phone, iPod, or mp3. A self-provided accompaniment track is required.
• Dance Audition: Auditionees should wear clothing that is easy to move in, character/dance shoes recommended. A combination will be taught to all auditionees and those that wish to show tricks/jumps/turns will be given a chance to do so. Ability to learn different styles quickly is as important as technical ability.

While in person auditions are preferred, video submissions are accepted. Please submit your video submission to auditions@strandmarietta.org as a google drive link or YouTube link only. Do not send video files as attachments.
