ACCESSIBILITY

A text copy of this brief can be found here for screen reading software. 

 

Please contact us if you require any additional support during submission or during the audition process. We believe this process should be accessible and are happy to be called in at any time to help you - email casting@beyouinc.org

 

We’re committed to treating you as an individual, so if you’re going to struggle to meet this deadline, need us to send you a reminder, or have needs you would like to put forward, please let us know in the audition form.

What we’re looking for:

 

We’re looking for people who are interested in personal and professional growth within a supportive and education-driven organisation.

 

We would like our Resident Artists to:

 

• Have a desire to take their career into their own hands

• Possess a self-driven and self-motivated learning style

• Demonstrate a passion for performing solo and as part of an ensemble

• Love to learn new and challenging repertoire

 

What we’re offering:

​

Our Resident Artists will, in addition to performing as a backing vocalist, be asked to perform repertoire in groups and be offered the chance to perform solo songs twice throughout the year. Performing and rehearsing alongside musical theatre professionals, our cohort have a unique opportunity to challenge themselves and grow as performers. 

In exchange for their time as volunteers, our Resident Artists will have access to one-on-one performance and career goal coaching, as well as access to other Be You initiatives and programs.

 

If this has piqued your interest, we encourage you to submit an audition.

CASTING
 

Be You is proud of our diverse community and want to ensure that people feel welcome and empowered in equal measure. Belonging and Balance are at the forefront of all that we do. As such, our casting process reflects our commitment as an organisation to ensure we are creating an inclusive environment with balanced representation. For more information, see our About Us page.

We welcome with open arms performers who identify as Indigenous, Black, a Person of Colour (IBPOC), culturally, gender and body diverse, and people of all abilities. Please let us know how we may further reach out to you and support your application.

 

AUDITION DETAILS

 

We’re accepting video submissions for the first round and our open audition policy will apply. Everyone who applies will be seen.

 

Please prepare a video with the following:

 

• A short introduction that introduces yourself and why you’d like to be a Resident Artist for Broadway Unplugged (roughly 30-45 seconds)

• One musical theatre piece (maximum of 32 bars, no longer than one minute)

• One non musical theatre piece (maximum of 32 bars, no longer than one minute)

 

TIP! Choose material that best demonstrates your vocal and acting ability and approach the song as a monologue, with a strong sense of action and storytelling. We are all about authenticity at Broadway Unplugged, so we want to see honesty and passion in your performance.
