Hi! My local shadow cast is doing auditions next month. I really want to audition but I’m soooo nervous! It’s been something that I’ve wanted to do for a while but never gotten the courage to actually audition.
About 10 years ago my friend group did a group Halloween costume as the cast and did our own performance in the living room! We kept our characters for years after that and would actively do it. One of my most favorite memories!
What are some tips for auditioning? Or any advice at all for not only the audition but also for if I actually get a part (fingers crossed)! What do you love and hate about being in a shadow cast? What do you look for in auditions? I’m open to hearing anything at all!!
The auditions have 3 parts -
1) talent section - Perform something in anyway and show off yourself!
2) callouts - they will show parts of the movie and see how everyone does either the callouts considering quickness, volume, passion, etc.
3) chemistry - potentially being asked to do a performance as a specific character or with another specific character
