Usdan Troupe Video Audition
**Please note that this form is for video auditions only. If you are hoping to schedule a live audition, please head to our Live Audition Booking Page**
To audition for the Usdan Troupe by video:
1. Complete this brief form regarding your experience.
2. Upload your audition video containing a performance of you singing a song from the Broadway repertoire and performing a monologue from a published play.
- Try to select a song that best shows the range of your talent. Choose an age-appropriate monologue from a published play rather than from any other source text.
3. Both the song and the monologue should be memorized rather than read from an off-camera prompt. Combined, your audition should not exceed five minutes in length.
- Please use one camera at a fixed angle with a fixed lens.
- The recording should contain no material other than the musical selection and the monologue, both together in a single file
- Camera must be placed to obtain a full-figure shot rather than a face close-up.
- A neutral-to-dark background works best.
- You must clearly be a soloist. You should begin your audition by saying : “Hello, my name is . . . . “ Identify your monologue and song before beginning either, saying something like: “I will be singing [title of song] from the show [title]. Likewise the monologue should be clearly identified, mentioning the source along with the character’s name.
- You may be accompanied by piano, a click track or a karaoke recording. Or, as a last resort, you may record yourself without accompaniment, though this will not be viewed favorably.
- You are responsible for the quality of the recording. You must be clearly visible and audible.
The initial deadline to submit this audition is February 9, 2025.
