Auditions

As a non- equity theatre we hold open auditions for most of our productions. Auditions are generally held eight to twelve weeks prior to a production’s opening night but the best way to stay current with upcoming auditions is to subscribe to our Mailing List at the bottom of this page.

Audition Guidelines

Here is a listing of Audition Guidelines for all auditions at Sociedad Actoral Hispanoamericana (SAH)
  • Be prepared

    Thoroughly research the audition requirements provided by the theater company and prepare with material to fulfill those requirements. Different shows mean different Directors so study the Audition Notice to understand the specific requirements for the show for which you intend to audition. NEVER tell those casting the show you’ve come to the audition unprepared. Also, provide them with exactly what they request, for example, if they ask for 32 bars, sing them your best 32 bars.

  • Know your schedule

    Don’t come to an audition without a clear knowledge of your availability. If significant conflicts exist, be prepared to list them for the information of those casting the show.

  • Know the show

    If the materials are available, research the show for which you are auditioning. If it’s a musical, listen to the soundtrack. If it’s a play, read the script. Learn about the characters for which you are auditioning.

  • Provide detailed information about yourself

    When possible, supply the Director with a resume of past experience as well as a recent head shot. If you have no headshot available, you should provide a recent photograph. Be sure the contact information you provide is accurate and legible.

  • Bringing your own materials

    Do not expect the theater for which you are auditioning to provide the materials you are using to audition. You should bring your own sheet music neatly prepared and marked for the pianist.

  • Prepare to sing with a pianist or track

    Our preference at SAH is that you sing with the pianist or track provided at the audition. If you simply must sing with some sort of recorded track, provide a track that is simple to cue.

  • Be polite

    Be courteous to those for whom you are auditioning as well as to other performers at the audition.

  • Dress apropiately

    Even an audition needs a costume. Be familiar with what is expected at the audition so that you may dress to suit what will be asked of you. Well dress will be fine as well.

  • Do not assume an invitation to audition by the Director or Producer is an indication of pre-casting.

    In fact, Sociedad Actoral only pre-casts in very rare situations, and when we do, it is announced BEFORE the audition. Being invited to audition will never mean the role is yours before the audition at SAH.

  • Plan to attend the entire Call Back.

    Every Director has a different style, so every Call Back is different. Should the Director invite you to the Call Back, plan to attend the session for as long as your presence is required. Many Directors require seeing many things from those auditioning before they arrive at their casting decisions. Plan to give them everything they need to see.

  • Don't get discouraged

    You may, once casting decisions have been made, be unhappy with the role you receive or you may not get cast at all. Don’t be discouraged, just mark it down as a learning experience and move on to the next audition. There will always be another show.
