Just be yourself!! Choose material to which you can relate and fully understand. You should be totally comfortable with it. Also, your appearance is important. Show that you care! Don’t get nervous if you are asked to stop and make adjustments to your monologues. It’s a good thing!! They want to see if you can take direction and apply it to your performance. Be free and honest in your interview. The department is trying to get to know you. Let them know your goals and aspirations as a student studying theater in a university environment. For the dance audition, start warming up as soon as you come into the room. For the singing portion of your audition, your songs should communicate a specific situation in a clear context. Your situation/objective/goal should be honest and specific. Most importantly, though, don’t forget to have fun! Auditioning can be stressful, but just remember: not only are you auditioning for the school and the faculty, but they are auditioning for you! Break a leg! :-)
