AUDITION TIPS

• You have a maximum of 5 minutes of audition time. You should prepare a maximum of three minutes of material. This will give us some time to speak with you.
• If have two contrasting (dramatic and comedic) please perform them. Monologues should be memorized.
• If you sing, please present one monologue and one song (12 bars is sufficient-acapella)
• If you have no memorized material, please read a poem of your choice (the poem can be self-penned). Please don’t rush to memorize something. It’s better to read something you care about.
• If you are a spoken word artist, please read or if memorized, one of your pieces/texts. 

In addition there will be representatives from regional professional theatre companies in attendance.

The Department of Theatre and Dance is part of the UC Davis College of Letters and Science.
