Ideas to Help you with Auditions

Things we are looking for.
When I have you read lines during Auditions, I am looking for a BIG, Clear voice. One I can understand and hear. I am also looking for sparkle! I want to hear in your voice energy and expression. I also looking for facial expression. 

When we listen to you sing we are listening for how clear your voice is and if you stay on pitch. And also if your range (how high or low you can sing) fits into the range of specific parts. 

Dancing Auditions we are looking for those who can move and dance for specialty numbers or parts. 

We have a list of lines that you can practise for Audition here on the blog. And if you are wanting to audition for a singing role please come prepared with a song of your choice. Any song you know well and have practised that will highlight your talents. 

Remember that not everyone will be the lead. But that does not mean you are not good. It means that the person who gets the lead fits Size, speaking, singing and dancing the best this time. And as always some of the best parts are the supporting roles!! 

Good Luck!! and what ever part you get it is going to be a GREAT Year!!!

Audition Lines for Dalmatians


Puppies
ROGER
Well, if it isn't our neighbor Cruella De Vil come to pay us a visit!
CRUELLA
What on earth is all that racket? How am I ever going to get my beauty sleep???
PEPPER
Beauty sleep???
PATCH
Did she say beauty sleep?
LUCKY
That's a laugh!!!(The PUPPIES snicker, but PERDITA's bark quietly quiets them. ANITA tries to divert CRUELLA's attention.)

Roger Anita Cruella
ANITA
Why Cruella, what a lovely fur!
CRUELLA
(preening)
Do you like it? It's a genuine one-of-a-kind and cost ooooodles of pounds! Now I have almost completed my collection of every kind of fur coat in the entire world!
ANITA
It's ... lovely. And I am terribly sorry about the noise. Really, the puppies mean no harm at all. 
CRUELLA
Well, just be sure the puppies don't do it again! I don't want the yowls and growls of spotted little furry creatures … (inspiration dawns)
Spotted little furry creatures …
(embracing the puppies)
Why, I don't think I've quite seen anything like them. Look at the depth! Look at the patterns! Why, they're practically works of art!
(aside)
And just what I need to complete my collection!
(abruptly)
You know what? I've changed my mind. I've been without a pet long enough. No one to play with. I can't wait to wear …
(catches herself)
... I mean,
care for all the little puppies. I'll buy the whole litter! How much?
ANITA
Oh, I'm afraid we can't give them up. Poor Perdita would be heartbroken!
CRUELLA
Anita, don't be ridiculous. You can't possibly afford to keep them. You can scarcely afford to feed yourselves. (chuckles, ripping off a check) Here's a hundred for the lot.
ROGER
Cruella, we're not selling the puppies.
CRUELLA
Oh, surely, you must be joking. (rips another check) Two hundred!
ROGER
(intimidated)
No, no, no. I - I - I mean it.
CRUELLA
Fine, you've forced my hand.(rips another check) Three zillion pounds. And that's my final offer!
ROGER
I'm sorry, Cruella.(takes a breath, mustering his resolve)
We are not selling a single one.
(ROGER rips the check, and hands them back to CRUELLA.)
CRUELLA
Why you horrid man. You ... you ... All right. Keep the little beasts for all I care. Do as you like with them. Drown them. But I warn you, I'll get even. Just wait. You'll be sorry! You fools! You ... you ... nincompoops!(CRUELLA storms out. The DOGS bark after her.)
Cruella Horace Jasper
CRUELLA
What do you mean we've run out of fur! We can't have run out of fur! This pattern calls for a muff and boots! I want my matching muff and boots!
HORACE
Blimey, Cruella! We've brought up every Dalmatian puppy in all of London!
JASPER
And there are no more for sale in a hundred miles of here!
CRUELLA
(laughing wickedly) Who said anything about a sale? My muff and boots are living right next door ...
HORACE
But I thought that couple with all the dogs was living next door.
CRUELLA
Exactly, you nincompoop!
JASPER
You mean ...
CRUELLA
That's right! I think it's time we pay dear Roger and Anita another visit. Come along, boys. It's time to make our plans ..
CRUELLA
(exasperated)
Don't you nincompoops get it? The puppies are supposed to stay safe inside. But how can they resist, once they hear their favorite song ...
HORACE
"Row, Row, Row Your Boat"?
JASPER
"Happy Birthday to You"?
CRUELLA
No, no, no, you dolts!!!!(CRUELLA holds the Krunchies right up to the faces of HORACE and JASPER.)
Hellloooo!


CRUELLA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!(CRUELLA's wicked laugh quickly changes to a mortified scream as she realizes that the PUPPIES have escaped.) Aaaaaaaaah! My puppies! My puppies!!!
JASPER
Hey, Horace! Look. They're gone. They flew the coop.
CRUELLA
Well, don't just stand there, you idiots! After them!!!
