WHAT TO PREPARE:
Please see the attached link to our THE LITTLE MERMAID JR AUDITION GOOGLE DRIVE FOLDER for the vocal cuts & acting sides. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1jxz2m1VKpoMh4XfLsApQu1m0sa39UHO7
PLEASE NOTE GUIDE VOCALS AND PERFORMANCE TRACKS TO PRACTICE WILL BE IN THE DRIVE AS SOON AS MISS STANZIONE RECEIVES THEM FROM MTI. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU CAN ACCESS THEM!
Each person should choose ONE song to sing, but should absolutely learn all songs for roles they would like to be considered for, because we may ask you to sing another song as well.
This year, I've put song choices for specific characters. If a student sings a song for a specific role, note that they are automatically considered for all other roles. So, don't feel as though your choice limits you!
For the sides, please also be familiar, but choose ONE character that you would like to read for. Some characters have multiple sides, feel free to choose one of those.
Also, be prepared to dance for the dance portion of the audition! Remember, have fun with it! Let us see some characters come through and show us your best acting skills!
NOTE: YOU ARE NOT ONLY BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE ROLE YOU AUDITION FOR. WE ARE CONSIDERING YOU FOR ALL ROLES.
SONG CHOICES:
As stated above, the sheet music for the cuts of the songs are in the Google Drive audition folder. The cut is written on the top of each document!
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/3/folders/1jxz2m1VKpoMh4XfLsApQu1m0sa39UHO7
SIDES:
Sides will be found in the Google Drive folder.
Remember, pick ONE character you would like to read for.
**If you are planning on reading for Ariel or Ursula, be familiar with ALL sides**
WHAT TO WEAR:
Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move in! Sneakers or dance shoes only. Do not wear jeans for dance audition! Please dress appropriately and like you would for a PROFESSIONAL audition, so no oversized, baggy clothing, or pajamas!
We cannot wait to see you and your amazing talents! Break a leg and come in with confidence! Believe in yourself the way we believe in you!
NOTE FOR STUDENTS WHO WISH TO BE CREW:
