What qualities are directors looking for in a musical theatre audition?
Posted on February 25th, 2010 by admin
I seem to have trouble getting lead callbacks recently in my childrens theatre. Even when i do well i get ensemble callbacks nowadays.
Is it really because I dont have leads on my resume?
What are directors looking for other than dancing and singing well?
What are some tips you have to get these qualities?
Should I over act, i usually dont because i think it makes people seem
unrealisitic but should I start?
Any other advice?
They are looking for someone who loves what they’re doing. They know that these people will give 110%. They look for people with personality, and an open heart. Also a kind person, a people person. Don’t over act, that’s one thing that people don’t like, it makes you seem to fake, like you’re trying too hard.
Not having leads on your resume might be a little factor, if it is even relevant. They’re not looking for how many leads you’ve gotten, but how much experience you have. The more plays you’ve done, they more they are reassured that you can stand up to the pressure of Hell Week and other actors. As long as you don’t say you’re doing this because you want to be famous, you should be fine =] Just wait for your shining moment =]

Most of all the key is to remain confident in yourself; because if you’re self- confident its gonna show no matter what and thats last thing you want to appear to be during an audition. just go out there and give your best shot and make it fun!
