Broadway SMS Auditions
Broadway auditions refer to trying out for a role in a production in New York's Broadway Theatre district. Have you ever had a once in a lifetime opportunity? A chance to do something you have never done before, let alone know someone else that had? That’s really how I envisioned auditioning for Shrek the Musical. Sure I have been in plays and musical in high school and community theater but never had I ever dreamed of Broadway.
Broadway auditions are like other auditions, which are a nerve-wracking and difficult experience for most actors, but they are an essential part of the job. Here's how the casting process generally works and a few tips on how to perform your best in front of the movie auditioning director or producer. For most roles, you (or your agent) must submit a photo and resume to whoever is casting the production. Occasionally, you may hear about an "open call" where anyone may come to talent casting. These types of talent movie auditions are often called "cattle calls" because hundreds of people show up and are quickly herded through. However, most Broadway talent movie auditions are invitation only.
Picture yourself taking a bow at the end of the production and feel yourself glow with pride as the audience gives a standing ovation. Imagine the thrill of hearing spontaneous applause erupt for your featured moment. Few experiences are more satisfying than performing onstage, and Broadway is the pinnacle of any theater dancer's career.
