its so crazy the differences in the usa to england's audition process. We rock up to the audition day at the university wearing leggings and a loose shirt and trainers, or sometimes a leotard and leggings with jazz shoes and thats what you wear for all three parts of the audition.

+Henrick Perry hey love!! 💕 I have an outfit guide coming up super soon with tons of tips that'll totally work for everyone (including non-binary+fluid members of the TheatreThursdayFam 😊)! So keep an eye out for that! In terms of rep material, I would recommend going with whatever rep sounds the best in your voice + fits the show. Rep material should also fit your casting type (which I realize can be more difficult to determine for people who don't identify as m/f). I think it's up to the individual performer and that they should audition for roles that feel right for them; personally, I would audition for roles that I look and sound like (if that makes sense? I'm kind of rambling at this point lol 😂💕). I'm really glad you brought this up. I have a lot of friends who identify as non-binary, trans, fluid, etc. and I think the industry has some catching up to do in terms of representation + opportunities for performers regardless of gender, etc. It's been on my recently (especially with Pride🙌🏻) and idk. Oops sorry for all the word vomit 😅 here are some helpful links 👇🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqmVnJicprCNrq8 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKWtnmOsn9iCnNE

Hey Chris-- thank you so much!! :) The guys' wardrobe varies depending on type-- a lot of the "bro"-y or "jock" kind of guys wore basketball shorts. The guys who wanted to show off their biceps or were leading men wore tank tops or really fitted tshirts. Character actor guys wore bright colors/fun, not too distracting pattern.

Hi Katherine! I have an audition next month for graduate school and part of it includes a group movement excersise first, followed by a short interview, and finally a monoglogue performance. They reccomend applicants wear comfortable clothes in which they can move (and also wearing these clothes throught the remainder of the audition since there's no time to change in between) and I was wondering if a pair of black workout capris, a neutral colored shirt, and tennis shoes would be appropriate?

A quick question about dresses, is it better to go with a nice looking but still casual dress, or something a little dressier? Also, is it better to stick with a modern cut? What ails mean by that is, I wear a lot of retro silhouettes, and they give me a boost of confidence, so I would be tempted to wear something of that nature. Would it be a bad idea to wear a dress of that variety? This was a very informative video, especially with regards to color. I had always been told to wear black of auditions, but it makes sense why you would avoid it!
@Kath_Steele
@Kath_Steele 8 жыл бұрын
I would vote dressier rather than casual. Like, a little nicer than what you'd wear on a date/to the theater. If a retro dress works for your type--go for it!!

Quick heads up for people watching this from the UK, this is quite different advice, lots and lots of girls wear trousers eg, culottes and a tucked in t-shirt , I didn’t see many at all in dresses last year all though I know some do. Also don’t dress for your type dress for what the college wants eg. Urdang you need to have bold red lips and follow their ‘look’ whereas at Central for example they want no makeup at all. Not hating on this video I’m aware it’s perfect advice for America 💗💗

hey! Im auditioning for Heathers next week at a local theater company that im going to be new to! I (obviously) want to either be Veronica or Heather Chandler, probably mostly Chandler. Is it okay to just wear jeans or leggings, or should I wear my only black dress which is school appropriate that has a zipper in the front middle (for detail i guess). Also, if I wear the dress is it ok to wear black converse with it, im comfortable with wearing dresses im just scared it would be too fancy you know? also, theres a separate dance call a few hours after they say to wear appropriate clothes to dance in and character shoes. what would be good to wear? like long black leggings but what top? I'm confused on what's be a good nice option. THANKS :)

This might be too minor of thing to worry about, but do they care if you wear nail polish or not? Obviously nothing too crazy. But is it safer to go without? Is a black skirt and red solid colored top okay? I know you said skirts are sometimes okay, but I'm not sure when it's okay.

for the most part, this is a pretty good guide for auditions in general! However, if the role calls for it, feel free to dress a little more casually. If you're auditioning for a modern show, a nice pair of jeans, heels, and a cool top are totally acceptable.
