auditions or call 912.525.5911.
Although auditions are not required for undergraduate admission, applicants are encouraged to audition to enhance the application file and to be considered for a scholarship.
The audition is helpful in evaluating the applicant's commitment to pursuing education and a career in the performing arts as well as potential for success at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Audition tapes/CDs/DVDs cannot be returned.
Applicants should present a four-minute audition and schedule an interview. Applicants who are unable to attend a SCAD audition may submit a 4-minute performance on DVD. Applicants should prepare two contrasting monologues or one monologue presented with song or dance. If the applicant plans to sing or dance in a SCAD audition, he or she must supply the music for accompaniment in the rehearsed key. College auditions may include a cold reading. A list of pieces that have been prepared, résumé and headshot (optional for applicants to undergraduate programs) must be submitted one week prior to the audition. Résumé of experience may include acting or other performance, directing, stage management, costume or set design, sound design or lighting design. Performance is reviewed on the following qualitative measures: voice production, movement, musicality, physical commitment, energy, relaxation, characterization, memorization and character portrayal.
