Audition Material

*Please note that every audition requires a vocal song of choice in addition to the material provided below

FAQ

  • Please learn ALL songs provided for the character you are auditioning for. Reminder that each audition is required to have a song of choice as well

  • You are only required to learn and perform the provided excerpts for the songs. Please consult the score/sheet music provided to see the section of the song we’ll be looking for. You can find the time stamps by practicing along with the guide vocal track - those will apply to the performance track you’ll use for the audition tape.

  • Please sing only what is labelled as the character you are auditioning for. Blank space in a song is a great chance to show us your listening and reacting skills. Place yourself in the number and become your character - you can show us your understanding of character both while you are singing and while you are ‘waiting’.

  • If you have a friends of family member that can be off-camera reading the lines of other characters in your script. awesome! It’s up to you whether you look at them or just off them off camera as a voice as you picture your scene partner. Either way. make sure you’re looking above the camera and not off to whoever is reading. If you don’t have someone to read the other lines, no problem! Still wait as if the line is being said, and use that time to react and stay in the flow of conversation.

  • You can record your dance material submission over the music in the youtube video provided. For your recording, you can start the video at 4:05. Just be sure to not be watching the video during your recording. We want to see you PERFORM the number to the camera!

  • Choose any song that showcases the individuality of your voice and personality! It can be anything from a radio pop song to a country song to another musical theatre selection. We’d love you to do the full song to a karaoke track so we can really hear you shine. Choose any song that you love to sing, that is in your range, and that is appropriate for your age.

TESTIMONIALS

 
Testimonials

"MTC at Studio 410 is an incredible experience. Devan and Paige and everyone they have work with the kids are fabulous. The quality of the program is far above and beyond anything we have been a part of before. The level of work ethic and hard work they get out of the kids is impressive--with that said though, it is not a high pressure environment, but one filled with grace and compassion. Instead of demanding hard work, they truly inspire it by how hard they work themselves and how fun they make it.” -Sara

"They were encouraging, organized and they made it really fun! Everyone was kind and everyone was included. They made it easy to practise by sending videos of the dances so if you didn't feel comfortable or forgot some of the dance, you could go over it at home, I really enjoyed it and would do it again". -Gabriella

"I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was very warm and welcoming and you didn't feel awkward when you first arrived and didn't really know anyone. Everyone was very kind, and I had a lot of fun every time we were there. I can't wait to do it again". -Evangeline

“Being in Shrek the musical as Fiona has been one of the best experiences of my life. I loved every moment of it. I made so many friends and learned so much throughout the musical. This experience really gave me a chance to come out of my shell and see what I could do. Everyone was so fun to work with and they were all so supportive and kind. I'm so glad I got to be a part of studio 410s Shrek the musical!” -Maya Valdez

“I can’t say enough about what an amazing experience Maya had as being part of Shrek Jr. in MTC. I saw my quiet girl, go from a stand back and observe girl to truly being a performer. I was blown away at the transformation and didn’t even know that she was capable of doing what she did. The encouragement and guidance she received from Paige and Devan, the fun and friendship that developed by being part of an awesome cast, made this truly one of the highlights of her life thus far. She was always excited to head to practise and enjoyed every minute of the whole experience. She can’t wait to be a part of the next one!” -Marla Valdez
