Most of you will be doing a lot of your auditions at an off-campus regional site. These locations can be a flurry of audition activity with other hopeful thespians around you. To help you stay calm, cool, collected, and uberorganized, I have developed a checklist for the all-important audition day.
1. You have specific reasons for applying to and auditioning for each program, so review why you want to attend each college or university in case you’re asked about it during the interview. Think about any questions you might have about the program to ask, as well.
2. Reread the plays your monologues are from. This will help you rediscover your text and keep your material fresh, even if you have presented and rehearsed it many times prior to the big day.
3. Get plenty of rest and watch your diet/nutrition/exercise. Don’t do anything foolish such as drinking alcohol the night before. Present yourself at your best. This means clear skin and fresh, clean hair. You should be neatly dressed and physically and vocally warmed up. Be at the top of your game.
4. Pack a water bottle and take it with you as you wait for your audition. Sip room-temperature water throughout the day to relieve muscle tension in your voice box. If
