Each act must sign up for auditions in advance. All audition time slots will be available to sign up for beginning April 11th. All acts must sign up for a specific audition time slot on the Audition Time Slot sign-up sheet that will be located on the auditorium door from April 11th - April 15th. All acts must sign up for a time slot on the theater door. **If you are a 7th or 8th grader and also auditioning for an Celebrity Emcee, please put a star next to your name on the Audition Form (please see below).
WHAT DO I NEED TO AUDITION:
- 3 minute or less polished and show-ready act showcasing your talent (no exceptions)
- Please come wearing your costume/attire for the variety show to auditions (If you are also auditioning for a Celebrity Emcee, please wear your "Celebrity Look Alike" costume to the audition and bring your other costume to show Miss Cindy)
- Please bring all props needed for auditions (A piano and cd player will be available for use)
- Your act must be show-ready at the time of auditions
- If your act requires music, you must bring a cd with your name/group written on the cd for me to keep. Please note, you will not get this cd back.
- One audition form filled out PER GROUP with attached picture of group members and attached sheet of lyrics being performed (if performing a song). Audition Form will be posted by April 11th. Please bring this form to your audition.
PLEASE NOTE: I will be choosing the TOP 30 acts to perform at the variety show.
FAQs:
- You are responsible for editing your own music. If you feel like a the lyrics are not appropriate, you will need to substitute in proper lyrics (and include this with your Audition Form). If you want to perform a re-mix of various songs, you are responsible for providing that music already edited at the time of your audition.
- Please show your responsibility in choosing an appropriate act to perform. Please remember that not only will you be performing in front of Miss Cindy, you will be performing in front your parents and teachers. Please keep this in mind when choosing an appropriate and family-friendly act.
LOOKING FOR 7th & 8th GRADERS:
If you are a 7th or 8th grader who would like to show up at your audition dressed as a celebrity look alike (this could be a local celebrity, people who have been in the news this past year, or even a present day celebrity [be creative!]), I am looking for 7th and 8th graders who would be willing to emcee throughout the show. Please come prepared with a 30 second monologue/conversation as the celebrity you are dressed as. Please note that the monologue needs to be from the point of view from the celebrity you are dressed as, not yourself. Example, if you are Justin Bieber, you could bring your guitar, swing your hair, and talk about your upcoming album or your crazy day at your promotional photo shoot. Please show up at your regular scheduled audition time - you will have 30 seconds to perform your monologue BEFORE your regular audition. I am looking for several 7th and 8th graders who would be willing to do this. Please be creative and HAVE FUN!!
MY VISION:
Saturday Night Live is filmed in New York City. Think of all the characters and mix of talent you might find on the streets of NYC! I am looking for that kind of variety for this show. I want each act to be creative and ready to entertain. Please HAVE FUN! Please know that I want to include as many students as possible, but I am only choosing the top 30 acts to perform. With this in mind, please know that not all of these acts will be solo acts. If possible, it would be smart of you to team up with others, as there are only spots for 30 acts. This is a VARIETY show, so I am looking for a variety of talents with an SNL twist.
REHEARSALS:
Please keep in mind that we will have rehearsals to piece things together for the variety show (entrances, exits, etc). The rehearsal schedule will be finalized after the show is cast, but please keep the two weeks before the talent show open.
HAVE FUN!!
Miss Cindy
