CLOTHING - CHECKLIST

  • Be sure your audition clothes and shoes are comfortable and make you feel AWESOME! 

  • Ladies, look for colors that and styles that are classic and memorable. You want to stand out… but in a GOOD way!

  • Guys, be sure everything is ironed and neat. Even casual styles should look neat and give the impression that you care about your appearance.

  • If your audition includes dance, double check that you have shoes, leotard and tights and are prepared to “freshen up” after your dance call.


PACKING - CHECKLIST

  • Check the weather forecast and make sure you are packing to match the weather where you are going. Plan ahead for rain, cold, snow, etc.  

  • For women: travel-size beauty products such as a brush, a mirror, makeup, and makeup brushes should be included in a carry on bag that you can take with you to the audition location. Freshen makeup and hair after dance auditions. 

  • For men and women: deodorant, fresh wipes, Febreze, wrinkle releaser, hand sanitizer, a lint brush, Band Aids, a nail file, stain remover, a sewing kit, dental floss, lip balm, toothpaste and a toothbrush, and an umbrella should cover all the contingencies.

  • Bottled water and snacks are a good idea in case the audition schedule doesn’t include breaks for meals.

  • Earbuds and relaxation or meditation music on your phone to be used to focus. A book or other reading material for downtime.


TRANSPORTATION - CHECKLIST

  • If you are flying, have a transportation plan to get to your hotel or University. 

  • If driving, make sure you have plenty of gas and the car is in good working order to get you to the audition on time. 

  • You have a GPS and driving directions to the audition location on campus. Beware that the address given is usually a general address for the entire campus. Print off a campus map so you know how to get to the exact building where the auditions will occur.

  • Change for parking meters or parking pass provided by the University


ATTITUDE 

Most importantly…  Don’t leave home without your positive attitude.
