Audition Information
Auditions will be in groups of up to 10 people. Plan on 60 minutes for your audition.
Prepare one or both audition monologues for your character.
We encourage you to familiarize yourself with them, but no memorization is expected.
Byron’s second “monologue” is to read (memorization not required) any piece of a Byronic poem.
Everyone will be asked to do one monologue a second time after being given direction to make a change to your delivery of it.
Please use an RP (or upper-class British) accent if you have experience with it.
If auditioning for Ada, Babbage, or Byron, be ready to sing the ABCs a cappella (or if you already have a 16-32 bar cut of a ballad you can sing a cappella, that’s also fine).
Video Preliminary Auditions
Preliminary auditions can be submitted by video if you are unable to attend in person.
The deadline for submitting is 6pm on Sunday, October 26.
Fill out the audition form, and then contact producer Michelle Fisher (michelle@burlingtonplayers.com), indicating that you want to submit a video audition. She will give you a link to a Google Drive location.
Upload your video to the Google Drive location from Michelle.
In your video:
Introduce yourself (name, pronouns, who you’re auditioning for)
Pick one of the audition monologues and do it twice. Between your takes, explain what you are changing about your delivery.
If auditioning for Ada, Babbage, or Byron, please include singing the ABCs a cappella (or if you already have a 16-32 bar cut of a ballad you can sing a cappella, that’s also fine - but no backing tracks or accompaniment).
Callback Information
Callbacks are in-person only. If you are unable to attend callbacks, you will still be considered, however people who attend will have a larger body of audition work for the team to consider.
Callbacks will consist of scenes from the show.
For Byron, Ada, and Babbage, we will be teaching a short song with counterpoint.
