Young Talent Wanted for "Footloose" Singing Audition
Young talent is wanted for the singing audition for "Footloose". Please see the details below. About the project: Footloose follows the journey of Ren McCormack, a young high schooler from Chicago. After his father’s departure, Ren and his mother move to the modest town of Bomont. Ren quickly finds himself grappling with the community and the Reverend Moore, who — unbelievably — has convinced its citizens to ban any form of dancing. It’s a policy Ren can’t understand. Along with Ariel, the Reverend’s daughter, and Willard, a local boy who becomes his closest confidant, Ren eventually persuades the Reverend to allow the town’s youths to dance again. Because of Ren’s efforts, the town undergoes a tremendous healing process, recovering from a tragedy that had deeply impacted all its residents. Additional info: For Vocal: - Please prepare to sing a pop song from the 80s or a song from a Broadway musical other than Footloose that is similar in style (e.g., Rock of Ages, Heathers, Hair, etc.) that best fits and showcases your vocal range and reflects the roles you are interested in being considered for. Limit your selection to 32 bars — about 1 minute. - An accompanist will be available, or you may provide your own. Please bring sheet music for the accompanist. - Using a smartphone recording of your accompaniment is OK. A Bluetooth speaker will be available at auditions. - Absolutely no A Cappella singing or duet/ensemble singing will be allowed. Please see the attachment for details. If you are interested please apply.
