Depending on their age and interest, students either will have
-- no casting conversation
-- a casting conversation by phone
-- an audition by phone
Please read the following description to see which group your student is in. If they are having a casting conversation or audition, please consult the open times below and email us with your top three choices for timeslots. We will get back to you with a confirmation or, if all three slots had filled when we received your request, we will ask you to choose three more.
Based on their age and interest, students fall into one of the three groups below; all high school students have either a casting conversation or audition. Please determine which one is a fit for your child, and if needed, send us your preferred times for a casting conversation or audition.
1) NO NEED FOR A CASTING CONVERSATION OR AUDITION:
--- students aged 7-8 OR students aged 9-14 who do not want to be considered for any individual parts with more than ~4 lines (all high school students have casting conversation or audition)
Students aged 8-9 play in group parts, and occasionally are given small individual parts. Students 10-14 who also prefer this level of activity in the play need not have a casting conversation or audition.
2) CASTING CONVERSATION:
--- students aged 9-11 who wish to be considered for an individual role with more than 5 lines
--- students aged 12-18 who would like to be considered for small-medium individual roles
Any students aged 10-18 (and ones who are 9 and feeling adventurous) who wish may sign up for a casting conversation. Here, we have a ~5-10 minute check-in with the student to see what types of roles they are interested in (big/medium/small, solo singing or no, gender preferences if any, etc.). As a reminder, if a student 8-14 is opting for group roles or smaller individual roles, they needn't have the casting conversation. Students aged 8 - 9 are cast in group roles and occasionally small individual parts.
If the role(s) a student is interested has more than a few lines of solo singing, the student should prepare a 30-60 song to sing over the phone.
3) AUDITIONS:
--- students aged 12-18 (with the occasional spunky 11-year old) [exception: Oregon 1-week camp ages 10-11, with the occasional 9-year old] interested in being considered for one of the lead / largest roles.
Students aged 12-18 (and those aged 11 who feel exceptionally advanced in musical theater), and for our 1-week camp ages 10-11 (and some who are 9] who are interested in being considered for lead roles have an audition by phone. Auditions consist of
The student singing a song (30-60 seconds). Any song choice is fine, but it would be best for it to reflect their talent and range of expression and vocal pitch. A cappella is fine, but if a student has recorded back-up music that is fine as well.
The student preparing a short monologue. Monologues can be from any source material, should be 20-45 seconds long, and ideally memorized. OREGON 1-WEEK CAMP STUDENTS NEED NOT PREPARE A MONOLOGUE.
The student and I having a ~5 minute conversation about the students' interests in the various characters, any gender preferences in casting, etc.
A singing range test from their lowest to highest
How do we sign up?
Please email directortorsti@rovainenmusicals.com with your top three (3) time preferences, in order, and the best phone number at which to call your child that day, even if you think we have it. We will schedule your child accordingly and send you a confirmation email with the time we will be doing.
This schedule will be updated throughout the week.
Please try to find a time among those listed here. If for some reason it is impossible to find a compatible phone time with one listed here (and we are not using the term 'impossible' lightly), send us a line so we can try to find an alternate time.
