Every year I watch young ladies teetering around on stilts during our regional audition which has an obvious, negative impact on their performance (despite our recommendation in the instructions not to wear high heels). Even if you can walk well with them, high heels can have an adverse impact on your vocal posture and its really hard to look “grounded” during your dramatic monologue or hitting your money note when you are on stilts. Wear flats or low heels, and avoid character shoes (except for dance calls - character shoes are for dancing and tend to show a little lack of imagination during an audition).
