Tips for Acting Audition
• You only need to learn the lines that are highlighted yellow. Try your
hardest and prepare for your audition by practicing. We would
encourage you to memories the lines but if you need help with the
lines in the audition, do not worry.
• Be brave and take a risk! Wizard of Oz has larger than life characters-
be over the top and have fun!
• Use your face and body. Your facial expressions need to be big and
theatrical. If there is a stage direction which says your character
moves, do what it says. Try to avoid standing still/in one spot. Instead,
move around and use gestures.
• Watch the film/clips on YouTube to help out.
• Choose an audition slot by adding your name and
form to the audition sheets displayed in
