AUDITION VIDEO:
To be considered, applicants need to video record themselves performing the audition materials (you may select your own audition material or use the below materials). Recording quality is NOT a factor (Video recorders, cellphones etc. are all acceptable media), however prompt delivery of the video is essential. If the material is not able to be viewed, then the applicant will NOT be considered. Possible delivery formats include but are not limited to: Dropbox, Youtube, Yousendit or other web based services. The important thing is to make sure we are able to view the video. Although it's not a requirement to improvise on your audition, it is strongly recommended. If you wish to include a sample of your improvisational abilities, please use the backing track below.
