  1. To book your audition time slot, go to the Channel for your year level in the ‘Auditions 2022’ Teams page.
  2. Open the Audition Bookings Word document within that channel (click the three dots next to the document and select Open in > Teams) and write your name next to an available timeslot, and then close the document. The document will automatically save and update.
  3. On the day and time of your audition time slot, click on the meeting link for your year level and wait in the lobby until you are admitted
    (the link will be listed on Teams).

Ensemble Role Auditions: You will only be required to sing 20-30 seconds of ‘I’m A Believer’ from the show, or a song of your choice. ‘Believer’ backing track and lyrics will be available on the ‘Auditions 2022’ Teams page.

Lead, Supporting and Cameo Role Auditions: You will be required to sing a short section of a song from Shrek the Musical and read a short monologue from the show. Character information, song backing tracks and lyrics, and monologues will be available on the ‘Auditions 2022’ Teams page.

 

 

STEP 4 – FOR FEATURED DANCERS ONLY:

Those auditioning to be a Featured Dancer: You do not need to book an audition time slot as you will be creating a pre-recorded video audition. On the ‘Auditions 2022’ Teams page you will be able to access a video recording of a short dance routine. You will need to learn this routine and send a video recording of yourself performing the routine to Miss Taylor-Lynch directly (private message) on Teams by Wednesday 10th Nov. Please also include a quick video of any jumps, turns, or flexibility skills etc. that you can do. There is no need to book in an audition time slot for a Teams meeting/video call, but you must submit your pre-recorded video audition by the due date.
