Think back to your early days as a performer. What were some of the questions you had when you signed up to audition for your very first show? In this article, we're going to show you how to setup your new show so that potential auditionees get all the information they need to set accurate expectations.
Use this space to tell performers a little about your theatre's rendition of this particular show. The purpose of the info you provide here should be to help people decide if they want to audition.
For example, try answering these questions in your information:
Also be sure you add all the showtimes to the list of performances.
Use this space to tell auditionees what they should expect as they prepare for and arrive at auditions. The purpose of the info you provide here should be to set expectations for people who have already decided to audition.
For example, try answering these questions in your information:
Be sure you setup the audition blocks as well, and set a capacity on each time slot so that you don't end up with too many auditionees at any one block of time.
Tip: We recommend you schedule blocks for small groups at a time, instead of trying to schedule individual time slots. It's easier to setup (e.g. 10 blocks with a 10-person capacity instead of 100 blocks), and auditionees don't mind waiting a few minutes before they are called in, but be sure you don't fall behind schedule or else you'll bottleneck.
Included on the audition form already is the usual questionnaire about contact information, past experience, and conflicts. Anything extra you need to know, you can direct auditionees to use the Additional Information field.
You don't need to add any cast information right now, if you're just setting up your show.
The Cast Welcome Message and the Cast Cut Message will only be visible to performers after you release the cast list, and a logged-in user will see the respective message depending on whether or not you've added them to the cast list.
Lay the groundwork for your cast list by adding all the roles that will be part of your show. As long as you don't publish the cast list, auditionees will only see a list of the avaialable characters. If you want to include a character description, you'll need to use the Audition Expectations field.
When you've gotten your audition blocks configured and information about performances and auditions format, you're ready to publish the audition form!
