Audition

Auditions are tryout-like interviews in which a sample performance is given by an individual in hopes of being selected for a certain role or job. All professional performers, singers, actors, dancers, and musicians typically must participate in auditions to further their goals and careers. As a performer, it is important to understand what goes on in auditions and what one can do to stand out and prove their talents to attain the role or job one wishes for. Preparing for auditions improves performers’ chances of succeeding in their chosen field of performance and improves many real-life skills such as professionalism, confidence, and public speaking, all of which carry out in other professions as well.
