Auditions for the 2011-2012 casts of High Voltage will be held on Saturday, June 18th at the El Dorado Musical Theatre rehearsal hall.

Please arrive to EDMT at 8:45 a.m. to warm up, as the audition dance will be taught to all auditionees promptly at 9:00 a.m. Please bring jazz shoes as well as tap shoes if you tap.

What should I prepare?

Please be prepared to sing both an up-tempo song and a ballad, each lasting no longer than one minute. An accompanist will be available if you have sheet music, or you may bring a CD with background accompaniment.

How many will be accepted into High Voltage?

The maximum size of the High Voltage tour group will be determined by the artistic staff after they have seen all who audition.

Who may audition for the group?

High Voltage is open for performers between the ages of 11 through 22 (as of the day of auditions).

What happens at the Audition?

The dance will be taught to all auditionees promptly at 9:00 a.m. It will NOT be taught again after that, so please be on time.

Following the dance instruction, the audition will begin. The pattern for the day will be: the first ten auditionees will sing, then the first 20 will dance, and then the second ten auditionees will sing, and so on.

There will be no callbacks.

Do I need a headshot and resume?

It is not required, but bring if you have one (especially if you are new to EDMT).
