Pre-Screen Audition Requirements

Step 1. Apply

Live pre-screen auditions are available across the country. You must select the city or university where you will be pre-screening.

You must apply to attend the A1 Conference here.

Step 2. The Set-Up

Woohoo! You’ve completed your application! Now it’s time to get ready for your pre-screen audition. 24 hours prior to your audition day, you’ll receive an appointment time and exact location of your audition. We suggest arriving at least 10 minutes prior to your appointment time. You’ll also receive a time for the dance call.

You should plan to attend the dance call if you’d like to be considered as a Singer/Dancer. If you’re more of a mover you’re welcome to attend to learn and take an awesome dance class! We’re excited to work with you and remember the dance call will not count against your application.

If attending the dance call, please wear something form fitting. Jazz shoes or sneakers for men. Heels or sneakers for women.

Step 3. Live in Person

If submitting for both the non-singing room and the Musical Theater room you must come prepared with both sets of requirements.

Non-Singing Actors

Prepare to slate your name and what monologue(s) you’ll be performing. We’d like to see a one minute contemporary monologue and a second one-minute monologue. Your second monologue may be classic text or another contemporary piece.

Musical Theater Actors

Please slate your name, do NOT slate what song(s) you’ll be performing. We’d like to see a cut of a contemporary musical theatre or pop/rock song. 16 Bars for a ballad and 32 bars for an uptempo. You will not be penalized for being a couple of measures under or over. You may be asked for second cut of your choosing (pop/rock, contemp MT, legit MT, etc). We suggest you bring your rep book to the pre-screen audition.

Step 4. The Waiting Game

The A1 team will make every effort to have a decision to you within 48 hours. Decisions are often sent out the same day as your pre-screen audition, but please allow for up to a week for decisions to be processed, before contacting a member of our team.
