Video Audition Tips

From The Casting Team!

We are excited to begin casting! Since all casting for will be done through Video Submissions, we wanted to give you some tips to create your best video audition!

These are tips you should follow when recording a video audition for a Video Submission.

  1. Most Important! Be yourself! Each dancer is unique and has their own style let that shine through in your video submission.
  2. Choose a something to show that best represents you as an dancer and matches your performance style.
  3. Dress to impress!.
  4. Remember to have fun! Show us your personality and energy. We want to see you PERFORM!
  5. Please use a high quality recording device.
  6. If you do not have a mic, make sure your recording device is close enough to get clear clean audio.
  7. Be sure to record your video in a place with minimal sounds and distractions (e.g. unexpected sounds like dog barking, baby crying, or loud neighbors). We don’t need any visual effects, props, or anything that would distract from your audition.
  8. Test your sound and video. Can you be heard clearly? Is the sound distorted? Maybe you're too close or too far from the microphone. Adjust and test again.
  9. Please record in a clean & clear location (e.g., no dirty dishes, laundry, or unmade beds behind you). Your roommate or family member should NOT be on the couch eating chips or watching TV while you are recording your video.
  10. Make sure you are well-lit, especially on your face (lamps or natural light work best). Make sure the light is in front of you so we can see your face.
  11. Make sure you frame the camera so we have a full view of your performance. Don’t cut off your head, put the camera too close, or with a view up your nose. Make sure the camera is in focus.
