Some things we ask for during auditions

In order to place you in an appropriate role we have to see what you can do. You will be asked to complete some required paperwork before we get started.

2

Manic Laughter — From soft and creepy to full-on maniacal. Let’s hear it.

3

Overdramatic Cry — Channel your inner dramatic actor. Sob it out.

4

Zoned Out Psych Patient — Blank stare, slow movement, disconnected from reality.

5

Twitchy Psych Patient — Erratic, unpredictable, unhinged energy.

6

Lines — Deliver scripted lines based on our character types.

7

Monster Noises & Movements — Show us how you move as a creature. Physicality is everything.

8

Optional Monologue — Come prepared with a 1 minute monologue if you're really interested in a speaking/dramatic role.
