Dramatic Impact. How effectively did the piece deliver a dramatic impact?

Character Connection. How effectively did the two performers work off of each other?

Appropriateness. Was the piece appropriate for the performer? Was it appropriate to the auditioner’s age and type?

Was the piece written for the stage? We discourage songs from any medium other than stage plays. Scenes from film are discouraged.

Overall Rating. How would you rate the overall impact of the piece performed?

Ask the timekeeper to tell you the length of the performance after each audition. Record that in the area marked Timer.

Constructive Comments. Please include comments that will help the auditioner to improve their performing. Please keep these comments constructive in nature.
