Mock Auditions
Boston, MA (Looking for a virtual option?)
For High School Seniors
Limited to 12 students per mock audition
Mock Auditions have been dubbed by families as "absolutely essential" for the college audition process. These days are run like real college auditions and you will leave feeling confident and excited to tackle your auditions. We conduct these in a master class format: meaning you will audition in front of a panel of coaches and the rest of the students participating in the mock audition. An exceptional opportunity to take notes and learn by not only performing, but by watching your peers. We run these in a supportive, warm environment. Open to the public!

Why participate in a Mock Audition?
Mock Auditions are an essential part of College Audition Preparation. It’s a chance for you to put your months of preparation into action before the real deal. Dressed in your college audition outfit, you’ll experience what it’s like to participate in a dance call, movement call and undergo interview questions in a professional audition setting. You’ll leave with valuable feedback to make sure you’re successful for the months of auditioning ahead.

10:30AM-12PM: MT Dance/Actor Movement Call + Cold Reading
Almost every MT program will require students to participate in a dance call and Actors are often asked to complete Movement and Cold Reading portions. We will run students through a typical dance/movement call that they can expect at most schools.
Attire: All students should come dressed to move comfortably. You will have time to change into your audition outfit.

12:30PM-3:30PM: Mock Auditions + Interviews
These will be run like a real college audition. Students will present material and will participate in a standard interview with the panel of coaches. Each student will practice taking adjustments and answering interview questions in their audition, then receive feedback from every coach (and piano accompanist) on our panel. Following the feedback portion, students will be given the chance to present an additional piece or repeat one of their original pieces in a second round “mini mock audition”. These are conducted in a group master class format.
