Getting ready for your audition?
Here are some tips to help you shine:
Auditions are for students ages 9-Senior in High School (High School Seniors must be 18 at time of audition). Limited audition slots are available on a first-come-first-serve basis at our online signups.
All auditions spots must be reserved. Audition Signups will begin two weeks prior to the audition date at 8:00AM, MST.
Check-in is 25-minutes prior to your reserved audition time slot
Students will audition in small groups. Auditions are closed to all except the Creative Team and the auditionees.
Auditions consist of a 90-second Vocal Audition & a Dance Audition.
Choose a Broadway or Disney song for your audition. No other musical genre (Movie musicals such as The Greatest Showman, Sing and La La Land unfortunately are not allowed as they are not created by Disney).
Sing a song in the style of the musical you are auditioning for. Do not choose a song from the show you are auditioning for. While allowed, we discourage choosing songs from “pop”-style Disney musicals such as Descendants or Zombies as these styles of songs do not tend to showcase the voice.
Be sure to choose a song that you can sing with confidence and energy. The more comfortable you are with your song, the more fun you will have with your audition!
All vocal auditions must be performed with a backing track. Students will provide their own backing track and will upload the song prior to audition day. The link to upload your audition song will be included in your confirmation email after registering for auditions. All songs must be uploaded to the STC online location, not played off a personal device.
No costumes or props are allowed as part of your audition.
No Monologues, Sides or Cold Reads will be used as part of the initial Audition process. These will be used as part of the Callback process.
A Jazz Dance Combo will be taught and performed as part of your audition. If owned, students should bring dance shoes.
Student attire for auditions and callbacks. Students should dress neatly and in a way that feels like “them.” They should not be dressed formally or costumed as a specific character. Please be aware that there will not be time to change between the vocal audition and dance audition. Be sure your outfit will work well for both styles. If wearing a dress, please wear shorts underneath. Bring dance shoes (jazz, character) if you own them.
Learn about the characters within the show ahead of audition day. Character information can be found in the audition application.
Confirm you are available for all required rehearsal dates. By signing up for auditions, you are confirming your availability for required rehearsals. If you have an absence on a required rehearsal date that is due to an extenuating family, religious (church), or school reason, please email Ms. Laura at starz.laurabergen@gmail.com prior to signing up for auditions to discuss options.
No member of the STC Admin or Creative Team can participate in the process of helping prepare students for STC auditions via private lessons.
