Some Guidelines for a Successful Video Audition:
- Videos should be no longer than 3-4 minutes in length.
- Videos DO NOT have to be slick, highly-edited promotional masterpieces. It can just be a straightforward, un-edited performance that shows both your personality and talent. The video provides the organizers an idea of what space & equipment is needed for the act.
- Make sure you plan an act that would work on a stage in a theater filled with 400 people or more.
