Audition Answers
Auditions are a wonderful way for students to gain self-confidence and experience in performing in front of people. CYT encourages every student ages 8-12 to participate in auditions. Unfortunately, we are unable to cast all who audition, but we feel that the experience is something students won't want to miss.
Generally speaking, one-third of most casts consist of students who are new to CYT. CYT students who have participated in several shows have worked hard to improve their skills in auditioning and performing through attending CYT classes. We feel
training is important, and that with training comes the confidence and skills necessary to have a good audition.
Students who are not cast in the show are encouraged to participate in other ways: delivering backstage grams and ushering. More information regarding auditions will be given on the first class day.
Currently enrolled CYT students ages 8-12 are invited to audition for the production.
Prepare a one minute or less audition song which you will sing solo. Bring an instrumental-only tape or CD.
You must turn in all the items listed below before auditioning. All forms are currently
available online:
