Virtual Audition Instructions

Once a theaterforms.com sign-up has been made through the September Song website, a link will be sent along with a specific password for access. Please select “Please add me to the waiting list. I cannot make an appointment at this time” when filling out the form on theaterforms.com. Those who have already signed up for a specific date and timeslot will be emailed the link and code in a separate email. A Gmail or Outlook email address is required - if, for any reason, that is not possible, we will provide a Dropbox link were videos can be uploaded. Your audition video will be recorded directly into the September Song Flipgrid portal, bypassing the need to record separately on a device and then uploading. These recordings will not be visible by anyone except the September Song Team. There will be a 2 minute recording limit but you will have the chance to record multiple takes during a single log-in. We ask that there is only one final video submitted per person. Households may use the same email address to log-in multiple times to record separate auditions. Once a final video is submitted, you will no longer have access to it but an email will be sent confirming the upload was successful. Audition criteria remain the same - an instruction video with additional recording instructions, requirements, tips and tricks can be found on the September Song Flipgrid homepage.

Audition Guidelines​

​Actors should prepare the following: 
  • Come prepared to sing 16 to 32 bars of music in the style of the show. We do not allow pop, R&B, rap, etc. not to exceed 32 bars. An accompanist will be provided, as well as a Bluetooth speaker. Please bring music in your key. No singing over pre-recorded vocal tracks. No singing accapella. Songs from the show are strongly discouraged but not prohibited.
  • When selecting an audition song, select one that showcases your strengths in both acting as well as vocals. 
  • ​Selections from the script will be pre-determined by the director and you will be given time to review the selection before your reading at call backs. There’s no need to prepare a monologue as we will be reading directly from the script.
