Remember that the audition panel is on your side. They will be looking for your best qualities. All of them have gone through the audition process as actors and they understand how nerve wracking the process can be. So relax and do your best. Also, the best way to combat nerves is to be prepared.
The audition will include:
- Presentation of a one to two minute memorized monologue (from a published play)
- Participation in an improvisational exercise (no preparation necessary)
Students will be evaluated individually. Areas of assessment will include:
- Characterization
- Physical Expression
- Vocal Expression
- Text/Sub Text
- Overall Impact
- Improvisation
- Ability to receive feedback/constructive criticism
* A monologue is a speech from a play where one character is talking to himself or other characters for a period of time. If a character interrupts the speech you can usually skip their interjection and continue the monologue.
** Copies of recommended monologues are available in the SCPA Main Office. You may also request a copy via fax or postal mail by calling SCPA at (619) 470 0555, ext. 283, or emailing rtrujillo@sandi.net |
