Virtual Audition Submissions for SKC SUMMER 2023 are due
at 11:59pm on Monday, May 29th, 2023*.
*Deadline Extended!

These productions are a commitment and require performers putting the show as a priority, especially in the last two weeks before the show. If you have conflicts that you would like to discuss with the director, email spotlightkidscompany@gmail.com. The creative team withholds the right to not cast a student OR to pull a student from the cast due to excessive conflicts. During this show, we will be practicing the three strike policy - if a student misses three rehearsals without giving the creative team at least 24 hours notice, we will remove the student from the production.

Spring 2023 Audition Information

Selecting an Audition Song

Filming Your Audition

Finishing
​Touches

Performers get to select any song they would like to sing for their audition. Choose a song that is in the musical theatre or pop style, and make sure it showcases YOU! You may select a song from the show. We suggest exploring at the following options:
FOR Finding Nemo JR:
  • ​Songs from Disney musicals
  • Songs from Dear Edwina, Junie B. Jones, Seussical, Annie, or Matilda
FOR Mean Girls, High School Version:
  • ​Contemporary or Classic Pop/Rock Songs​
  • Contemporary Musicals such as Bring It On, Heathers, Dear Evan Hansen, Book of Mormon, and Legally Blonde​
Once you've chosen a song, identify one minute of the song you'd like to film. You are also responsible for finding a backing karaoke track to work with. Check Youtube or PianoTrax for help with a track. Once you know your one minute cut of your song, it's time to practice until you are ready to film!
  1. Film LANDSCAPE (horizontally).
  2. Use two devices to film - one to play your backing karaoke track and one to film with.
  3. Wear a formal outfit and look your best. Try to avoid crazy patterned clothes or looking disheveled. This may be our first impression of you!
  4. Use a plain background with no distractions.
  5. Introduce yourself with your full name, your age/grade, and what song you will be singing.
  6. Film your song a few times and find the take you are happiest with! Don't worry... there will be bloopers.
  7. Upload your final take to YouTube as an unlisted or private link - then take your link and paste it into the box in the Audition Form.
Once you have your perfect audition video uploaded to YouTube, it's time to submit your audition form! Fill out all of the details in the form below, including your conflicts for the summer. Don't forget to put your  YouTube link (set to public or unlisted) in the correct box on the audition form.
​Audition forms MUST be submitted by the date above in order to be considered for a role.

Once you click submit, your audition process is finished! We will email you back to confirm that your audition was received and that your video works. If you don't receive an email within 48 hours, please reach out to spotlightkidscompany@gmail.com.


    Audition Form

    Virtual Audition Submissions are due MONDAY, MAY 29th, 2023.

    Please note that there will be a tuition fee of approximately $400 charged for all materials and time. If needed, we offer partial scholarships and payment plans. We do not want financial issues to deter your participation, so please reach out if you have any questions or concerns!
    Please upload your AUDITION SUBMISSION to YouTube as a PUBLIC or UNLISTED video.
    STUDENT AGREEMENT: By electronically signing (typing my name below), I am agreeing to play any role assigned to me without complaint. I will accept any costume, line or solo changes as given by the director. I am also agreeing to attend all rehearsals and performances UNLESS my conflicts are previously communicated. I will attend rehearsal when called and I will come prepared. I vow to be a respectful, kind, and dedicated cast member. I understand that failure to do these things may cost me my role in the show.
    ​PARENT AGREEMENT: By electronically signing (typing my name below), I am agreeing to support my child's involvement in this production. I understand the commitments required for my child to participate in this SKC musical, including attendance at regular AND ESPECIALLY TECH rehearsals and performances, ensuring tuition is paid, and other communication required throughout the process. I understand and respect the director's choices and agree to support the production as best I can.
    ​Please give your weekly recurring and one-time conflicts, Monday-Sunday from today until the performances. Although we understand that conflicts arise, please understand that the addition of many conflicts WILL jeopardize a performer's role. Please be willing to dedicate time to our show - we don't have a lot of time to make this happen, so we want our performers to be dedicated and committed to creating the best product. We will be unable to cast your student if the conflicts are not specific.
