How do I find local singing auditions?
look in the “musicians” section of craigslist.org Also try doing a google search on “vocal audition” + the name of your town. For example, “vocal audition Chicago”. You need to include the town or zip code so you don’t get hits on auditions that are being held on the other side of the country. Contact local community theatre groups to find out when they are auditioning. A small part in a musical is a great way to start, and you’ll get lots of help preparing for the show. You could also call your local chapter of the American Federation of Musicians (the musicians’ union); tell them you are a beginner who is looking for auditions and other ways to get experience. Finally, don’t expect to ace your first audition. Look at this as the beginning of a journey that is supposed to be fun and exciting, and as a way to get input from others on how you can improve. It took me many years of playing before I was the guy who got the job; in fact, for a long period of time, I was always the guy in se
