Video Audition Instructions & Tips
Instructions & Tips
Videos must be submitted by August 23, 2021 to be considered to Catalyst Fall Programming!
- Don’t forget to introduce yourself! Before you begin your audition, tell us your name, age, and a short fun fact about yourself. We want to get to know who you are as a person!
- Record each audition piece separately. When you fill out the application form, there is a separate area to upload the link to each video or PDF.
- Film your auditions in a horizontal format. Doing this will allow a full body view, and more freedom to move around in the frame of your camera without adjustment.
- Give yourself plenty of time to upload your video! Sometimes your internet is slower than you think.
