Helpful Information for Performers

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE DAY OF THE AUDITION

Arrival Times - 2:00 Children 2-12; 3:30 Teens 13-19

BE EARLY. Late arrivals may forfeit audition. BE PATIENT. You will have to wait.

Check-in upon arrival. Submit any materials you want us to keep, i.e. photos, comp card, resume, etc. If you bring music, hold onto it until you are called to audition.

You will be given a badge and have your pictured taken. You will then record a personal intro on video: "My name is... I am __ years old and my talent is ___". If you have more than one talent, change "my talent is" to "my talents are". Practice and have this memorized. Afterward, you will take a seat and wait to be called. Once you are called, be ready to complete your audition performance in one take. At the end of your performance, you will be handed information for the next step. At that time, you are free to leave or stay to watch remaining performances. There will be audience present.

Your audition will be videotaped. All videos, including those submitted online will be reviewed by our talent selection team, who will choose the contest finalists within two weeks after the last in-person audition date. To stay informed, visit the Talent Clubhouse website often and check email for updates.

On a date to be announced, the finalists will be posted online at www.TalentClubhouse.com. Then, the voting begins. The finalists with the most votes will be selected winner and presented with their prizes.

HOW TO PREPARE

Models: Practice ahead of time and be totally prepared with a variety of poses, for a 2-3 minute photo shoot. Ok to dress in layers to offer different looks. Ok to bring hat, glasses, shades, jewelry, and make one hairstyle change.
Singers/Rappers: A capella with no background music, or A popular song with background music (bring CD). Original music encouraged, but not required.
Dancers: Prepare three (3) minute dance routine.
Musicians: Bring instrument(s). Prepare 1-3 min. routine. Solos, duos, or groups.
Actors: Prepare a 1-minute monologue (individuals) or a 3-minute skit (groups).
Comedians: Study comedy. Prepare a three (3) minute routine, that is funny to those you practice in front of at home.
Poets/Writers/Storytellers: Prepare an original written work, that you will recite. Background music OK. 1-3 minutes.

WHAT TO BRING

If music is required for your performance, bring music on a stereo CD (NOT BURNED ON A COMPUTER BECAUSE BURNED CDs MAY NOT PLAY PROPERLY). Original music is always preferred when possible. Bring any props needed, wardrobe, make up, equipment, partners, etc. If available, bring copies of photos, portfolio, comp card, video on CD, bio/resume, and/or references.

Dress to Impress: Age-appropriately. Bright colors look best on camera. Avoid all white or all black clothes, as they blend too closely into the photography/video backgrounds.

Language/Content: We produce family-friendly entertainment, so please no vulgarity, adult language, lewd behavior or suggestive material at all. Any performance found to exhibit this prohibited content, will be immediately interrupted and disqualified. Choose your material wisely, and be certain it can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

Tips: Sign up to perform in advance. On the day of the show, arrive on time although you may have a wait, so be patient. If you are late, you may lose your spot to perform. Once called to the stage, be prepared to perform at your best.

If you have any questions, email: contest@talentclubhouse.com. Thank you.
