Matilda Jr. Callback Information
Callbacks will be Wednesday, January 12th
from 3:10 to 6:00pm!
Dance callbacks will be held from 3:10 - 4:00pm!
Students called back for a vocal or script reading need to stay the entire time.
Students who are not called back for a vocal or script reading callback may go home when the dance audition is over at approximately 4:00 p.m.
Congratulations on being called back for a part in Matilda Jr.!
We are so excited to see what you bring to the characters.
Callbacks help the directors see more than your original audition. Just because you get a callback does not mean you are guaranteed a lead. Just because you didn't get a callback doesn't mean you aren’t in the show. Callbacks will include a vocal and script reading (audition side) segment(s) for that character.
A few people were called back for multiple parts. We understand that it is a lot to ask you to learn in such a short amount of time. Just do your best!
Please take time over the next few days to make sure you are 100% prepared for the callback.
-
Music and dialogue do not need to be memorized. But, they do need to be PREPARED! You may use the music and sides as a guide.
-
Do research on your character
-
Who are they? What is their personality? What can I bring to the character?
-
-
There are “Guide Vocals” to assist in learning the music. When you audition, we will be using the “Accompaniment.” Please make sure you practice with the accompaniment track.
-
All characters should be sung/acted in the appropriate accent. (Do your best. We don’t expect it to be perfect)
