Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the director, Cristi Miles (cmiles@lclark.edu) with any questions or concerns before auditioning.
WHAT TO PREPARE
- Prepare a short (16 bars) piece of music to share at your audition. You can choose to sing something from INTO THE WOODS, or something in the genre, or something that you just love to sing. Choose music that is FUN for you to sing!
- We will have an accompanist, so you can choose to bring in sheet music for the accompanist, but is not required.
- A story (no more than 2 minutes long) about a fairytale / myth / legend that you remember from your childhood, and why this particular story still lives with you today. This can be a true story, or you can make up the story. It would be lovely if the story can reveal something about what you learned from hearing or sharing this fairytale.
Callbacks will be posted to the callboard with information on what to prepare by Friday, Sept. 6th by 5pm.
