A Special Note about Taped Auditions

Distance from a given school, timing issues, or budgetary limitations can make it difficult for students to audition in person at every school.  Though in-person auditions are always better, a well-prepared taped audition can be a fine alternative.  Schools have varying ways in which they accept taped auditions (some prefer video while some take CDs, etc.), and students should prepare their recordings carefully according to these guidelines.  It is extremely important that taped auditions follow the same requirements as live auditions, and that recordings are clearly labeled with their contents.  Include a resume with your recording.
