We are thrilled to announce that we are starting a bi-monthly Prep Tip LIVE Q&A on the web twice a month! In this episode, we chatted with our online peeps from Russia, Ohio, and beyond, and answered questions from our Twitter feed and live inquiries! Some topics we covered:
Traveling to audition for schools- is it worth it?
Is singing from THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE a no-no?
How do I do my makeup for the audition if it’s onstage?
How do I put my resume together?
…and more! Check out the video, and be sure to join us next time! If you have a question you’d like to ask, leave a comment below and we will address it on the next hangout.

Thank you for your idea of the video!
There are couple of questions I’d like to ask:
- the audition: is there a possibility to see by the reaction of board of examiners if the exact presentation was what they were expecting to see?
- after the audition: what can be next? (second part of the audition, interview, etc.)
Thank you in advance!

Hello!
There is one more question I have:
- current: is it an appropriate behaviour to listen to the other people’s speech about the audition (if any) and start speaking when the main auditor gives a sign for it?
Thank you in advance!

There are some more questions I have: how should I behave after the audition (details: second audition, waiting for a call back, interview):
- what are the usual specifications for the second audition?
- whom should I get in touch with?
- are there some conclusions about the show which is possible to make on the basis of the auditions?
- are the general rules work for different steps of the audition?

- are there some arrangements I should think about during the auditions?
- will the waiting for the call back be “absolutely silent” or not?
- the audition in another city, hope it’ll be successful!
