1. Prepare, prepare, prepare.

This doesn't mean memorize your sides, but at least know the first two and last two lines and read the whole play, if possible.

2. Ladies, wear heels.

(unless you're auditioning for the tomboy, Anybodys). And PLEASE – don't wear character shoes, unless you're going to dance. Dress like you're going on a date.

3. Walk in with a pleasant, business-like air.

Be appreciative of your accompanist (and the monitor, for that matter. We find out if you were not nice!).

4. Don't worry if you mess up a lyric.

If you can't get back on track, just stop and politely instruct the pianist where to pick up. Don't apologize, we know you didn't do it on purpose.

5. See 4.

Have a sense of humor about your audition and make the best of it.

6. Try to 'change the room' with your energy.

Come into the room with a short–term goal (in other words, pick a small challenge you'd like to conquer).

7. Keep your eye level straight ahead.

You don't necessarily need to look at the people behind the table, but don't look too high above them. They won't get a sense of you. And PLEASE don't bore a hole through the wall, only looking at one spot. Oh, and stillness goes a long way toward helping us concentrate on you. Fight the urge to 'choreograph' your song too much.

8. Assess how you "think" it went.

Pick one thing you did great, think about another you'd do better next time. Keep it constructive.
