NWDC  Musical Theatre Scholarship Audition

Each participant must attend one of two workshops given before the Audition.  You will find them in your schedule when you arrive at the Festival.

- Each student has 5 minutes to perform 2 contrasting songs
- The songs must be sung live, students must bring sheet music marked and ready to be played by the accompanist provided.  You may not bring your own accompanist.

Notes:

- Enter, go right to the accompanist and give her your music, and go over the tempo.  Set your chair if needed.  State your name and the names of your two pieces, nod to the accompanist and begin.  Timing will begin with the first note of your music.
 Show a range of musical theatre styles in your selections
- Although movement is important and you may incorporate dance, you will not be performing on a dance floor.  Tap shoes are not permitted.
- Choose songs that show your range and are different in type and style.  Be sure you know who you are singing to and remember to find and play your objective.
- Perform the song as a piece of musical theatre. Your acting and singing will be assessed together. 
- Be sure your music is clean and clear and easily read by the accompanist.
