Jokerfish Audition Information

WORKSHOP AUGUST 10th
​AUDITIONS AUGUST 11th
​AFTER SCHOOL IN ROOM #8201

Picture

Before you get on stage

  • Treat it like a job interview (because it is)
  • The audition begins when you walk in the door.
  • Come early to warm up so you can get to know your audition partners
  •  Be prepared/know what you're auditioning for.
  • Don't lie on your resume and don't worry about how long it is. My first resume was 2 class shows and a play I did in High School. We all start somewhere.
  • Be polite. It's never failed.
Picture

Once you're on stage

  • Yes, and...
  • The Golden Rule
  • Remember that the auditioners want you to succeed. They're looking for talent. Believe me, they're pulling for you. They'd much rather cut good people, than cast mediocre.
  • Make others look good, support, give and take
  • Take a deep breath
  • Have Fun
  • Be confident. Failing that - perform confidence.
  • Save the comedy for the scenes - if you're asked to say your name, just say it, be a person first, and then a performer. If you're asked to be real, please be real.
  • Make an impression. Do what you do best
  • Stagehogs and doormats are both gonna get left behind.
  • Be bold. (That doesn't mean loud, angry or offensive)
  • Give it everything you've got and when it's over leave it all behind.
  • Remember that the auditioners want you to succeed. They're looking for talent. Believe me, they're pulling for you. They'd much rather cut good people, than cast mediocre.

Afterwards

  • Be polite. (Seriously)
  • Remember to breathe.
  • If you don't make it, it's OK. There's always next time. Some of the best improvisers I've ever known, got shut out the first few times.
