How to Audition

Now

1. First, consult the descriptions of the three segments on the show page, and the audition sides and character descriptions in our Audition Documents folder on Google Drive, to get a sense of the plays and an idea of what roles you’re interested in.
2. Then, click here to sign up for an audition appointment, fill out the form, and submit it.
   • In previous auditions, we’ve had a short online form to sign up for an audition slot, and a longer paper form to fill out to tell us about your skills and interests and let us know (for instance) what plays or roles you’re particularly interested in. We’ve finally been dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th Century and combined both of those forms into a single online form. This means that you’ll want to think not just about when you’d like to audition, but also about what specifically you’re interested in auditioning for, before (or while) you fill out the form
   • Space-permitting, we will still be accommodating walk-ins at audition, and there will be a way for you to fill out the audition form on-site. Audition reservations are very much encouraged, though!
3. If you have submitted the form correctly and one of the time slots you requested is still available, you will get email confirming your audition appointment. (This is sent by a human being who has a day job, so don't worry if it doesn't come right away. But if it doesn’t come within a day or so, contact us at auditions@pmrp.org. You can also use that address to contact us if you have trouble submitting the form.)
4. Then check our Audition Documents folder on Google Drive and read over the synopses and character descriptions for all three plays and think a little bit about what you’re interested in — the voice roles listed there are available, but there also positions for sound-effects performance, tech crew, and various other things. (The synopses and character descriptions have all now been posted!) Note that “Right Ho, Jeeves” is gender-swapped from the original story, with a female Jeeves attending to Betty Wooster.

Before your audition

1. Print out (or download to your tablet) the audition sides from our Google Drive Audition Docs folder. You’ll want to look over and/or rehearse them before your audition, and it will be very helpful if you can bring your copy to the audition (although we’ll have a few extra copies printed out). Sides and descriptions for all three segments have now been posted.
2. Then, show up for your audition at the scheduled time! Good luck and have fun!

Some Things to Know

• Voice rehearsals will generally be on Tuesdays. For the first few weeks, Foley and voice actors will be rehearsing separately, with Foley rehearsals on Mondays. After the first three weeks or so, voice and Foley will rejoin and rehearse together on Tuesdays.
• If you show up for an audition without having filled out your form, we’ll probably have a paper copy you can fill out and we can transcribe, or a QR code for the form so you can fill it out on your phone. However, it saves time and trouble and makes the process go more smoothly if you submit the form before your audition. (It also helps demonstrate to the directors how responsible and resourceful you are!)
• Similarly, if you don't have sides printed out (or on a tablet) we'll have some copies auditionees can borrow, but it's best if you can print them out or have them on a device you can comfortably read from.
• Walk-ins are welcome, but people with appointments will take priority. If there are no-shows during a given hour, we will fill those slots with walk-ins. Any remaining walk-ins will be auditioned at 10pm. It helps the directors tremendously if you sign up in advance, though.
