    one of the tips that people overlook is the level of preparedness!

    if they say bring a monologue, bring a picture, DO IT!

    read the shows in advance, and decide which character you think you'd be most right for. --gear your song and monologue towards that role.

    find out if they want 16 bars from one of their shows, or something different. make sure your sheet music is in your key!

    have fun. show them your 'sparkle'. it's easy to get in a grumpy mood if there's a long waiting line, but don't worry about it. bring music that you like to listen to (or go over your script/song)

    break a leg!

    Be confident without being cocky (confidence is important but if you begin to imagine yourself better than everybody else, it shows and reflects poorly)! Choose a monologue/monologues which you feel shows your strengths and be sure that you know your material well before the day of the auditions. Don't stress! One of the best things you can learn in theatre is how to channel any nervousness into positive energy. Don't dwell on "worst case scenario" but go up there acknowledging the fact that you are capable of excellence and knock 'em dead!
