Joining the Innovative Arts cast is a big step, especially for students who have never done a musical before. We want to ensure all our young performers have an incredible first experience, so here are a few tips that will ensure your family is yelling “Encore!” about your Innovator’s inaugural season.

It can be so disappointing when you leave an audition feeling like you didn’t do your best because you are having issues with your voice or, even worse, losing your voice right before a show!

Here are a few tips to help young artists (and their parents) plan for those big vocal moments without having to compromise being our boisterous selves at events, school, or when we decide to put on one-man productions of Hamilton in the car!

Auditioning can be intimidating, especially when you are doing it for a new company or group of people. Fortunately, Innovative Arts auditions are specially designed to give performers their best chance at success. It can still be nerve-wracking, though, so here are a few tips that will help quiet those nerves, and give you the confidence to shine at your first audition with us!
