| I just had my CMU audition in NYC on Sunday. I did my monologues for someone, and was asked to repeat the performance for someone else. The second auditioner was quite interesting; she asked my to perform my piece as if I were talking to a dead tree. I am assuming it is the same person that asked for the chicken performance. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly, and I really enjoyed the process. The dance audition was fairly straightforward. My only qualm was that the dance room was so packed with people that it was very difficult to see the instructor as he taught the combinations, and since it went fairly pretty quickly and I am very short, I struggled to learn all of the steps. My suggestion is to ensure that you have enough room and be considerate of the height of other people (if you're tall, make you way to the back as long as you can still see, and short people go front, being carefull not to block others). The singing was lovely, they ask for approximately 32 bars, but the auditioner said it was a very loose requirement. They would rather hear the whole phrase than a perfect 32. |
